World's smallest battery assembles itself like a Swiss roll cake

The ongoing miniaturizing of electronics calls for an ongoing reimagining of the devices that power them, and a new example from scientists at the Chemnitz University of Technology has taken this technology into tiny new territory. By deploying what's described as a Swiss-roll-inspired self-assembly process, the researchers have produced the world's smallest battery, which they say could find use in powering small sensors in the human body, among other applications.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Battery Technology, Battery, Batteries, Chemnitz University of Technology, World's Smallest
