Jelly-like US robot battery can survive all assaults including twists, cuts, stabbing
SMRTR summary
Researchers from UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, and HKUST have developed a flexible lithium-ion battery using a low-water hydrogel electrolyte. Operating at over 3.1 volts, the battery remains functional when bent, twisted, stabbed, or cut. Despite its durability, its capacity is only one-tenth of commercial batteries. This innovation may advance soft robotics and wearable electronics.
