Paper Batteries
from the e-packages dept
An Israeli company has created paper-thin batteries that can be printed on packages. This seems pretty cool - except that most of the uses discussed appear to be for marketing things. Yes, soon expect consumer products to blink and flash and sing at you. You would think someone could come up with a better use for something like this. It's not clear from the article how strong the battery is or how long it will last. If it's actually pretty powerful then there could be a ton of potential uses for it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
