Silly Putty and Lithium Make a Great Battery
May 20, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at the University of California Riverside, Bourns College of Engineering, have developed a new way to make lithium ion batteries using a material found in Silly Putty that will last three times longer between charges compared to the current industry standard. The Silly Putty material, silicon dioxide (SiO2), is also found in surgical tubing […]
