Though only in their experimental, early stages, flexible electronics are starting to show some real promise for things like LED-laden clothes, medical sensors and fitness trackers. But powering these things is a huge challenge in itself, with rigid lithium-ion batteries unable to bend in-tune with devices without breaking, failing and possibly leaking out toxic and flammable materials. Researchers have developed a battery claimed to mitigate these risks, with the ability to “self-heal” in the event of a rupture.
