Using Wood For a Battery Component
June 20, 2013 | 3 Comments
Taking inspiration from trees, scientists have developed a sliver of wood coated with tin that shows promise for becoming a tiny, long-lasting, efficient and environmentally friendly battery. The report on the device, some 1,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper, has been published in the journal Nano Letters. A team at the University of […]
