This startup just won an award at CES for its paper-based battery. We’ve made batteries out of all sorts of materials, from lithium, to nickel, to lead. But one startup featured at CES this week ...

The magnesium-air battery (Mg-air) from Tohoku University is innovative, however. The researchers made it out of paper, first of all, and it runs on water. In a fascinating new study, researchers ...

It's no accident that the battery resembles a piece of paper. Cellulose - the same plant cells used in news print, photocopier paper and books - makes up more than 90 percent of the device.

In this particular video, he recreates a method found by researchers to turn a piece of paper into a battery with equivalent performance to a AA-sized alkaline battery. (Video, embedded below the ...

After solidification and removal of the excess liquid, the composite film is peeled from the substrate and can be used as a supercapacitor or as a component in a battery. The composite paper ...
