ELMs may drive repetitive (approx. 1 Hz) pulses of up to 10 percent or more of the plasma stored energy to the walls in ITER while disruptions may completely terminate the discharge, releasing all of the plasma's thermal and magnetic energy into nearby structures and potentially producing a runaway electron population that may cause localized damage.

Positive energy content change means an increase in stored energy (i.e., heat content in oceans, latent heat from reduced ice or sea ice volumes, heat content in the continents excluding latent heat from permafrost changes, and latent and sensible heat and potential and kinetic energy in the atmosphere).

In continued research the scientists want to find out more about this mechanism to recover stored energy, to see if more practical uses could be made of it — better adhesives, for instance, or robots that can use some of these principles for improved performance or use in extreme environments.

The exception to that might be in the direct conversion of sunlight to chemically stored energy, where, for example, you'd have sunlight break down water and you'd get hydrogen.

It's surprising that the easy detachment mechanism can recover this stored energy, so the researchers are interested in studying whether this is coupled with other aspects of the gecko's physiology to enable it to take advantage of the recovered energy — much like a kangaroo does when bounding.

Specifically, it performs an enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) without requiring any stored energy: all necessary power is drawn from the smartphone.
