Electronic devices that can bend, expand, and twist, like wearable displays and soft robots, have been around for a while. But the batteries and supercapacitors that power these flexible devices are still rigid. Now, researchers in ACS’ Nano Letters report a flexible supercapacitor with stretchable titanium carbide electrodes, allowing the power source to work even after repetitive stretching.

Area-Capacitance Supercapacitors" — Desheng Kong, Ph.D. (corresponding author)
