Engineers create stretchable batteries

Origami, the centuries-old Japanese paper-folding art, has inspired recent designs for flexible energy-storage technology. But energy-storage device architecture based on origami patterns has so far been able to yield batteries that can change only from simple folded to unfolded positions. They can flex, but not actually stretch.

Now an Arizona State University research team has overcome the limitation by using a variation of origami, called kirigami, as a design template for batteries that can be stretched to more than 150 percent of their original size and still maintain full functionality.

Last week it was an origami battery, this week kirigami. Cool stuff.

Don't forget the flexible aluminum-ion batteries before that.

Honestly research in the field has begun to ramp up massively in last year or so.

Phone and wearable manufacturers want new types of batteries. traditional batteries are getting (very) long in the tooth.

also another study in which researchers discovered the prevention of dendrites formation...
overall there will be more and more innovation coming...

Yep, I was on the train of though of form factor and flexibility, but that is another significant change we should see implemented soon as well.

Can't wait to see a really significant breakthrough happen.
