Scientists have developed materials made of tiny, flexible nano-sized ribbons that can be charged just like a battery to store energy or record digital information.
Developed by researchers from Northwestern University, the highly energy efficient, biocompatible and made from sustainable materials could give rise to new types of ultralight electronic devices while reducing the environmental impact of electronic manufacturing and disposal.
Published in the journal Nature, the study mentions that the new soft materials could be used in low-power, energy-efficient microscopic memory chips, sensors and energy storage units.
