VIDEO: SCIENTISTS DEVELOPED A FLEXIBLE BATTERY

Imprint Energy is a company that aims to reshape the battery landscape. The current technology available in battery technologies limits the pace of improvement in design and functionality of portable electronic devices. Imprint Energy will address these shortcomings with its breakthrough zinc-based rechargeable battery technology known as Zinc Poly. 

The Zinc Poly battery technology removes longstanding limitations on the rechargeability of zinc-based batteries and enables the production of ultrathin, flexible, high energy density rechargeable batteries for significantly lower cost and without the design limitations or safety concerns of other battery technologies. The thinness and flexibility of these Zinc Poly batteries make them ideal for implants, the researchers noted, and they could be hugely beneficial to the development of brain-computer interfaces, which are, obviously, implanted into one of the most sensitive organs inside the human body. Have a look at the video below to see how these batteries work and to get more insight on where the company want to take the invention of the Zinc Poly battery.
