Self-powered wearable tech

Science Daily  May 2, 2019
An international team of researchers (USA – State University of Michigan, Duke University, Naval Research Laboratory, MIT, China) has created highly stretchable supercapacitors which has demonstrated solid performance and stability, even when it is stretched to 800% of its original size for thousands of stretching/relaxing cycles. Instead of having a flat thin film strictly constrained during fabrication, their design enables the three-dimensionally interconnected CNT forest to maintain good electrical conductivity, making it much more efficient, reliable and robust. The research may spur the development of new stretchable energy electronic systems, implantable biomedical devices, as well as smart packaging systems…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE 

Now researchers from Michigan State University have provided a potential solution via crumpled carbon nanotube forests, or CNT forests. Credit: Courtesy of MSU
