This article from ABC News had me reaching for my calendar to see if it was April Fools Day. Nope, it’s still December.
The headline said:
Scientists Say Paper Battery Could Be In The Works
We sell a lot of batteries, particular around Christmas, and I am always surprised at how much the shipping cost adds to the final price. Unfortunately, a 4 Pack of D Cell batteries weighs over a pound. 25 pounds for a case of 72!
ABC News reported on work being done at Standford University in developing a special paper coating that can be applied in a manner that creates a new type of high-performance energy storage.
This promising development in nanotechnology may some day power the electronic devices that today require alkaline or rechargeable batteries. You might even be able to “wear” the battery that powers your cell phone and notebook computer.
Perhaps even more important, the scientists working on this development predict that the cost will be low and that they can see bringing this technology to the commercial market in the foreseeable future.
Not just lightweight, small electronics will be impacted. This new way of storing power may someday. This combination of supercapacitors and nanotechnology might even be used in electric cars.
We’re really looking forward to sending you your battery order in a #10 envelope.
