Med-trump writes "Stanford researchers say they have developed a transparent battery. Transparent futuristic gadgets have been a topic of science fiction and dream of engineers. The paper "Transparent lithium-ion batteries" was published in the July 25 edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They used a grid-structured electrode, which is fabricated by a microfluidics-assisted method, such that the feature dimension in the electrode is below the resolution limit of human eyes, and, thus, the electrode appears transparent."

Though on the other had it would be like a small bomb if you broke the screen then.
Much more effective the the average burglar alarm glass breakage detector.
I wonder if you could store enough energy to make bullet-proof glass that is actually reactive armor instead of just soaking up the force?
