STRETCHY BATTERY A PROMISING POWER SOURCE

In recent years, engineers have made great strides in the fields offlexible and stretchable electronics. However, their progress has been somewhat hampered by a lack of similarly flexible battery technology—that is, until now. Researchers have successfully demonstrated a flat, stretchable battery that maintains its power and performance even when extended to three times its original size. The battery can also be charged wirelessly, meaning it could someday be used to power implantable medical devices, among other things. More… Discuss
