New Battery Tech Is Partially Transparent, Flexible

Researchers at Stanford University have put together an interesting new battery technology that combines two theoretically coveted attributes: transparency and flexibility. The method of making the battery transparent is rather clever, and while the resulting product is far less energy-dense than its opaque relatives, it's still an interesting development.The secret is organizing the components in a certain way on a microscopic scale. The electrode material isn't see-through, but there's no reason it has to be a solid block instead of something less substantial. Materials Science professor Yi Cui figured out a way to organize the active materials in a way that's nearly invisible to the naked eye.
