The researchers invented a flexible battery that can run like a roll of paper
Researchers at Columbia University in New York have invented a battery that can run like a sheet.
The flexible battery can be used on new generations of collapsible gadgets. They can be bent, rolled or tightened without these actions affecting their performance.
In this way, mobile phones of the thickness of a sheet of paper can be manufactured soon, which can be rolled into a role as a paper.
The battery could also be integrated into smart clothes or bracelets.
The prototype already done by researchers provides 85% of the energy of a normal battery, but this can be improved.
The battery was designed with the human spine structure as a model. Following this principle, tough components are interspersed with some soft components.
In fact, Samsung is already working on a flexible smartphone that can be bent like a sheet of paper, writes Daily Mail.
