Power sources used in devices found in or around biological tissue must be flexible and nontoxic, while still powerful enough ...

Scientists at Penn State have developed a flexible, high-power hydrogel battery inspired by electric ...

Flexible, non-toxic hydrogel batteries could power soft, wearable and implantable electronics, according to a study.

Now, researchers at Penn State have turned to an unlikely source of inspiration—the electric eel—to create a new kind of soft, gel-based battery that delivers impressive power while remaining flexible ...

Scientists develop eel-inspired hydrogel battery with record power density, flexible design, and biological compatibility for wearables.

Most of us have probably used a 9-volt battery. They power small household items such as clocks, smoke detectors, and toys. Now think about what you could power with 860 volts. It’s 95 times the ...

Electric eels are pretty amazing. I wonder if they feel the same way about us? 80 percent of the body of an eel is made up of cells that are a lot like batteries. And those batteries can deliver ...
