This strikes me as a step away from your favorite subject.
I should have looked, you’re already here!
Maybe not. Sounds like the premise of The Matrix; they’re all batteries now.
can these devices be scaled up to refrigerator or truck or house size?
Thanks for describing this well. My level of knowledge couldn’t concisely do that.
Everybody seems fixated on the word “limitless”. I get it.
HOWEVER, it seems to me that the far more important aspect is the the fact that, if true, they have refuted the belief that the thermal motion of atoms cannot do work. That’s a huge shift in what may be possible. If I was on that team, I’d be doing back flips.

That’s what I suspect, for instance ambient sound (phonon) energy. ( perhaps from nearby bullhorns announcing preposterous claims of repealing thermodynamics). They say in the blurb graphene mysteriously converts thermal noise to usable frequency vibrations but it more just resonates to sound wave inputs, folks.
“Graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, because its conduction and valence bands meet at the Dirac points. The Dirac points are six locations in momentum space, on the edge of the Brillouin zone, divided into two non-equivalent sets of three points. The two sets are labeled K and K’. The sets give graphene a valley degeneracy of gv = 2. By contrast, for traditional semiconductors the primary point of interest is generally Γ, where momentum is zero.”

“Dated” has grown into being the most laughable euphemism around in the last several years.Two guys watching a buxom babe walk by, one turns to the other and says “I want to DATE her SO BAD!”
