Title: Organically Radical Battery is revolutionary
Post by: Foxy Brown on December 09, 2005, 07:10:24 PM

NEC is making a bid to change the look and function of batteries. They call their new creation ORB, short for Organically Radical Battery. To call it ultra-thin and quick-charging is a ridiculous understatement. The battery looks like a piece of paper. It is just 0.3 mm thick, made of a type of plastic called organic radical polymer and assumes an electrolyte-permeated gel state, which is apparently an intermediate material state between solid and liquid. That makes the battery very flexible and pliant. (http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/313/C5539/)

Paper battery might be handy.

Notice that it had nothing on how long the battery is supposed to last (not even test-figures).

Any pictures of it?  I'd love to see that.
