That's Right, smart people have done it again with the invention of a fabric that can generate electricity. The fabric contains really, really small wires that are woven into the fabric and the electricity is generated by simply moving around while doing day to day things.
The research, described in the Feb. 14 edition of the journal Nature, combines the precision of ultra-small nanotechnology with the elegant principle known as the piezoelectric effect, in which electricity is generated when pressure is applied to certain materials.

At first I thought that no one would by the shirts because that they would have all these wires running through it, but then I found out that there would be no such problem as the wires are only 1/1800th of a human hair thick! See, told you smart people have done it again.
The makers say that one square foot of the fabric would produce enough electricity to recharge a portable music player.
Brilliant!
