Breakthrough stretchy battery moves like toothpaste and could power pacemakers and hearing aids
This breakthrough in battery power could bring wearable tech, implanted medical devices, and humanoid robots to life.
The scientists at Linköping University's Laboratory of Organic Electronics solved that problem by using materials that can hold and conduct negative and positive charges to power devices regardless of their energy demands. "The study from Linköping University demonstrates a groundbreaking approach to battery design," Pragathi Darapaneni, a senior product development engineer at Schaeffler Asia, told Live Science in an email. "While promising, fluid batteries must be evaluated for potential risks, ensuring that the materials used are non-toxic and safe for prolonged contact with human skin," Darapeni wrote about the study.
