Paper-Thin Batteries Provide Bendable Power

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the battery-paper-airplanes-please dept.

SkinnyGuy writes "New carbon nanotube-based technology could literally allow companies to paint layers of electricity-holding lithium-ion on standard pieces of paper. The possibilities are endless." You can also read the actual paper.

    I read the paper and it was Shockingly Powerful.

      So you got a charge out of it?

      I clicked on the link and found that there was no charge. After I read the paper, I found it to be both positive and negative. I found the subject matter to be current and energetic. It was both powerful and enlightning. You seem to be applying some resistance to this where I think you should be looking to reduce your impedance. Of course your position on the matter can help determine your polarity.

      Well, thank god it's Faraday...

    It's much faster than just Hyper, it's Hyper Hyper, which is like regular Hyper except on ADHD. Ooh, look at that blinky ad!

    Yes it's an anecdote! Were you expecting original research in a Slashdot comment?

    "... embed it in a carbon nanotube matrix, and it really is that simple ..."

    I swear, what are carbon nanotubes NOT good for?

    Only if it's a really, really flat and electrically charged, probably for having been hit by a lightning, lion.

    Or a zoo lion run over by a Tesla roadster. Now THAT would be an interesting headline.
