AirPods that never need charging? These researchers just found a way to use your body as a charger

A new Power-over-Skin technology invented at Carnegie Mellon University could change the way we charge our wearables.

There are few things that I hate more than putting on my Bose Ultra Wireless Open Earbuds and having the little critters whisper: “Battery low.” Which is why I’m excited about new research from the Future Interfaces Group at Carnegie Mellon University that’s exploring technology that could power your earbuds, or any other small gadget, by sucking electricity through your skin. In other words, no running out of juice ever again. Just put your buds on and play till your ears fall off.
