Self-Powered Microchips?

I don't know whether to be excited or just confused.. On one hand,
they claim that this magnetic technique could produce something
like millions of tiny batteries on a microprocessor, but they also
claim that this technique could be a new way to write data.. This
sounds very similar to the way a hard disk drive writes data to a
platter, but--correct if I'm wrong--they seem to be incinuating
that this magnetic etching can be used to create transistors..
What the heck!?
