The Beat Moves On ..... Grain of Sand Battery

Post by Zydor »

Recently announced:

The Grain of Sand sized Battery:
"To do this, the team used an ink with nanoparticles of one lithium metal oxide compound for the anode and an ink from nanoparticles of another for the cathode. The inks were placed on teeth of two gold combs, which resulted in tightly interlaced layers of anodes and cathodes to form a full stack. From there, the electrodes were placed into a container of electrolyte solution."

Good links :-)

I'm waiting for the time when we can have all our brain patterns saved onto some form of bio-electronic "brain" which can be transplanted from one body to another, (when the old body wears out).

And if you check the news in the last week, "head" transplants might be possible soon >>>

I wonder what next ?
