Flexible energy storage device for wearable tech withstands deformation

Summary: Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology and Korea Institute of Industrial Technology developed a bendable energy storage device using laser-patterned liquid metal electrodes on a stretchable substrate. The device maintained its capacitance after 1,000 cycles of stretching and various deformations. This innovation addresses the need for flexible energy storage in wearable technology. Funding was provided by the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Korea.
