Paper Battery in the Works


Today, what we really need to solve our enrgy issue is finding power storage.Nanotechnology is the FUTURE. Scientists at Stanford are harnessing nanotechnology to produce ultra lightweight and bendable batteries in the form of everyday office paper some carbon and silver nanomaterials. Simply coat a piece of paper with ink made of carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires, and voila you have a highly conducive storage device. Society today needs something low-cost, high-performance energy storage device, such as batteries and simple supercapacitors.

Just imagine how this nanotech supercapacitors will be used. Since our society in the digital age are on the go, we will have super ultra lightweight computing devices. Being green will be more affordable, this can also be used in solar panels which everybody will be able to afford. Here we are, another step closer to a brighter future.
