- Describes the first energy harvester prototype capable of harvesting usable electrical power from ambient radio signals (e.g. TV, mobile and WiFi) in typical domestic environments with extremely low power densities. Enables the potential of powering trillions of low-power IoT sensors and devices by utilizing the ubiquitously available ambient wireless energy. Led to a £121k research grant from Huawei Technologies in 2019 to develop high sensitive integrated energy harvesters based on the approach in this paper [Contact: Huawei Technologies]. The paper has been flagged by Web of Science as having high significance (Essential Science Indicators: Top 1% in Engineering) since 2016.
