Yeah this is hella sketchy.
>We also found that the on-off, switch-like behavior of the diodes actually amplifies the power delivered, rather than reducing it, as previously thought
Wat. Why is this crap on the front page?

Fluctuation-induced current from freestanding graphene https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.102.0...
But it sounds to me from the abstract like the result is not significantly different from the thermal noise voltage on a resistor? I don't expect that they would be able to extract any work from the system, unless there is a temperature difference somewhere.
