Ultratynne algebaserte batterier

[SeaLion]

Er dette en batteriteknologi for framtiden?

Thanks to new research surrounding the use of Cladophora (green algae) in a flexible, ultrathin alternative, it looks as if we may finally be onto something good. Researchers purport that these super skinny cells could be placed in areas where batteries are currently unable to go -- think of perpetually charged wall sensors, energized clothing or even light-up wrapping paper. Better still, prototypes have shown the ability to hold a significant charge, but unfortunately for us all, no specific production date has been pegged.

Kan denne teknologien brukes for å gi mobiltelefoner og bæbare datamaskiner lengre batteritid? Kan den gi elbiler lengre rekkevidde? Eller egner denne typen batterier seg kun til steder der det egentlig ikke er plass til normale batterier?
