​NTU scientists create customizable, fabric-like power source for wearable electronics

​We are pleased to share the research on bendable supercapacitor conducted by Professor Chen Xiaodong and his team has been featured in the media.
 
Scientists at NTU have created a customisable, fabric-like power source that can be cut, folded or stretched without losing its function. The team reported their findings in the journal Advanced Materials and have filed a patent for the technology. Prof Chen said, “A reliable and editable supercapacitor is important for development of the wearable electronics industry. It also opens up all sorts of possibilities in the realm of the ‘Internet-of-Things’ when wearable electronics can reliably power themselves and connect and communicate with appliances in the home and other environments.”
