This is especially the case with paper based Li-ion batteries, due to their flexibility and relatively low cost. Now a team from Arizona State University have discovered that by folding these batteries, the energy density and capacity […]

But who ever thought of printed batteries? Research in the field of supercapacitors has brought this innovation into question, and, with the help of the almighty carbon nanotubes, printable supercapacitors have now been realized. They perform just as well as other supercapacitors, but excel in lightness and flexibility.
