‘Stretchable’ toothpaste-like battery offers flexible future for gadgets

Bend it, stretch it, power it: researchers unveil flexible battery

Imagine a battery as soft as toothpaste that can be stretched, twisted, or printed into any shape—and still power your device. That’s exactly what researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have created: a fully stretchable, rechargeable battery made from fluid electrodes and sustainable materials.

The Shape-Shifting Battery That Powers the Future of Wearable Tech

A team of Swedish researchers has created a flexible, stretchable battery that can be shaped like toothpaste and embedded in a wide variety of wearable tech and medical devices. Unlike conventional bulky batteries, this one uses liquid electrodes made from sustainable materials like lignin, a paper industry byproduct, and conductive plastics. It maintains performance even [...]

‘Stretchable’ toothpaste-like battery offers flexible future for gadgets

Rigid, bulky batteries could one day be replaced by soft, flexible ones, a new paper argues. Scientists at a Swedish university have created a new form of a soft, fluid-based battery that can be shaped to meet any form, according to findings published Friday in Science Advances. “The texture is a bit like toothpaste,” co-author Aiman Rahmanudin said…

A new battery from Sweden can be pulled in length and brought into shape with 3D pressure.
