Fibre Battery can be Woven and Washed

This submarine drone is powered by a 20-meter-long fiber battery that is wrapped on its surface.

For me, one of the most interesting areas of the industry is flexible electronics. Traditional devices are designed onto a circuit board and enclosed in a box. The advent of the Internet of Things has meant that electronic designs have to be integrated into all sorts of places, some of which have no room for any si
