Researchers have discovered a nanowire-based material that will allow for hundreds of thousands of recharges. Scientists in California have now come up with a type of smartphone battery technology material that uses nanowires and that can be recharged hundreds of thousands of times before wearing out. This opens up the potential for new computer and mobile device batteries that could last a lifetime. In fact, while many consumers would be able to benefit from this discovery as a smartphone battery technology, the fact is that it may also have applications…

thread like battery for wearable technology mobile devices

This power source has been described as somewhat similar to yarn, and could replace current forms of battery. According to some of the latest power source tech discoveries, the next batteries to be produced for wearable technology could be less like the forms that we currently recognize and more in the form of a lithium ion yarn like threading. These very small and flexible electronics could become the next generation of smart clothes wearables. It could also help to solve some of the issues that are currently faced by the…
