The useful part

Researchers at Dongguk University in South Korea have developed a battery-free, flexible graphene transistor that mimics biological synapses and can recognize human activity without any external power source. The device is a graphene-channel ion-gel-gated transistor (g-IGT), fabricated on a flexible PET substrate, with monolayer CVD graphene as the channel and an ion-gel electrolyte (based on the ionic liquid EMIM-TFSI) serving as the gate dielectric.

Details worth keeping
