paper battery, sugar battery, and thin-film lithium-ion battery.
Everything’s a battery
If it stores energy
as, according to Einstein,
all matter does,
as any living thing, animal or vegetable,
retains and expends
until its useful life is spent,
let’s tune the parameters,
try to make everything more efficient,
lighter, more powerful,
safer, more durable,
cheaper, easier to maintain,
and kinder on the environment.
There’s a difference between the potential energy “stored” in atoms
and an electric charge stored in or generated by a battery; however, for the sake of noble goals
it is good to consider energy sources as well as energy storage.
