Spray-On Power

Rice University researchers creating sprayable batteries by applying each layer of a lithium ion battery via an aerosol paint that when layered, conducts a current.

Nanocables

Cables made of carbon nanotubes are inching towards electrical conductivities seen in metal wires, which may ultimately lead to lighter cars and consumer electronics.

Paper-Thin Energy Storage

Researchers from Rice University have discovered a way to create free-standing supercapacitors with the ability to store and release energy over thousands of cycles.
