New Soft, Stretchable Battery Invented to Power Wearable Electronics

The use of plastics, or polymers, in batteries is not new. For some time, lithium-ion batteries have used polymers as electrolytes — the energy source that transports negative ions to the battery''s positive pole. Until now, however, those polymer electrolytes have been flowable gels that could, in some cases, leak or burst into flame.
