A nano sized battery has been designed that can fit into a wire only 150 nanometers thick). Engineers from Rice University are working on batteries of only 50 microns - that's about the thickness of a strand of human hair.
So. We'll soon have devices running on tiny, long-life batteries. This means more space on the device for extra features and functionality - and all lasting longer before a recharge.
All they need to do now is create solar or kinetic powered nano or micron batteries and The Soft-Machine outfit finds another piece of its design.
