Your skin’s melanin can conduct electricity, and scientists want to harness it

[Stone Cold]

Researchers have known for a long time that eumelanin—the pigment that colors human skin, hair, and eyes—can conduct electricity. But eumelanin in its natural form isn’t conductive enough to be very useful, and nobody could figure out how to give it a boost. This week, that changed. In a paper published this week in the journal Frontiers in Chemistry, an interdisciplinary team of Italian scientists describe a breakthrough process that dramatically enhances eumelanin’s conductivity.

White women have culturally appropriated this already

Black Power!!!






I'm assuming it's referring to all skin pigments though?

I guess the question is does one shade have considerable difference over other shades?

Power your phone just by holding it...

Sell power back to the grid just sleeping or everyday activities....

But whose army will they be fighting for?
