Foldable battery - technology advancement
We could soon expect a flexible phone.... as what the scientist is saying, we've be expecting a wearable / foldable device. I have been collecting data about new-age technologies involving batteries.
I'll keep updating this thread for this exciting new invention.

Feb. 13 - The era of flexible phones and wearable computers has come a step closer with the development of the world's first foldable lithium-ion battery. An efficient, stable, flexible battery has long been sought by companies like Samsung and LG who want to be first with the next generation of consumer electronics. Rob Muir reports.
This is another from the ASU.

Researchers at Arizona State University have fused the mystical arts of origami with modern materials science to create a high-performance, flexible lithium-ion battery. These batteries can be twisted, bend, and scrunched up multiple times, while retaining the same energy capacity and power output. Perhaps most excitingly, though, the researchers tell me that “all standard electrode materials and packaging technologies are used,” meaning this tech is safe and could theoretically be commercialized in its current form.
One of the biggest remaining problems when it comes to flexible electronics — flexible smartphones, e-paper, etc. — is the lack of a flexible battery. We have covered some flexible and stretchable batteries on ExtremeTech before, but these have mostly been low-performance, printed or polymer batteries that probably wouldn’t work in commercial applications. The origami battery from Arizona State University, thanks to its use of normal materials and standard LTO/LCO battery chemistry, could finally usher in the era of flexible computing.
