The road to renewable energy requires one step at a time. Well, actually, it requires quite a few steps. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin and Forest Products Laboratory in Madison believe they can harness the mechanical energy generated by people walking across the ground using a common component of flooring. The concept makes use of chemically-treated cellulose nanofibers in wood pulp that produce an electrical charge when they come into contact with untreated nanofibers....
