Yarn-like battery prototype uses seawater to power devices
Most batteries are stiff and incompatible with water. However, people who work and play in oceans and estuaries could benefit from flexible and saltwater-safe power sources.
Now, researchers, led by Chinese academics from the Yibin Academy of Southwest University, report on a yarn-like battery prototype that works when immersed in seawater.
