Coming to a boutique near you soon: wearable battery clothing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Scientists charged into the fashion industry this week, unveiling a flexible battery that can be woven into fabric and used to boost the juice of everyday gadgets.<\/p>\n

The lithium-ion cells were produced by a group of boffins from the Polytechnic School of Montreal. The team claims their bendy power cells are the first wearable battery that uses no liquid electrolytes, New Scientist<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

The team sandwiched a solid polyethylene oxide electrolyte between a lithium iron phosphate cathode and lithium titanate anode. These are thermoplastic materials which, when gently heated, can be stretched into a thread.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There is a short-term restriction, however:<\/p>\n

\n

The next step is to waterproof the technology before attempts to implement it in future clothing and accessories can go ahead. Backpacks and medical-monitoring garments are said to be the first items the team is planning to add the tech to.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’d be a bit unpleasant to have your shirt packing “hundreds of volts” discharge unexpectedly just because you broke a sweat …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
