Well... this eCoupled power stuff may be cool:

But these smart transistor thingys will let you ditch the wire and the base station with true self-charging devices. They take the way cool award hands down:

Epitaxial integration of the ferroelectrics PbxZr1-xTiO3 (PZT) and BaTiO3 (BT) with wide band gap polar semiconductors such as GaN (0002) presents the possibility of electrostatically coupling the polarization vectors of these dissimilar materials. Further, the re-orientable nature of the ferroelectric dipole will allow the interface charge that must accompany the interfacial polarization discontinuity to be systematically modulated. Consequently, a new generation of smart transistors that are non-volatile, and simultaneously respond to electrical, thermal, or mechanical stimuli are envisioned.
