4D printing makes wrinkly, stretchy energy devices – Futurity: Research News
A new method for creating stretchy supercapacitors could pave the way for more flexible and dynamic wearable devices, researchers report.
Researchers have created stretchable supercapacitors using a specialized printing technology, innovative materials, and the centuries-old art of origami.
Developing these kinds of malleable energy devices will help existing wearable technologies, such as smart watches, become more flexible, comfortable, and reliable. But Changyong Cao, director of the Soft Machines and Electronics Laboratory at Michigan State University, is also envisioning new possibilities.
For example, he’s working toward smart…
