Just as you thought that innovation couldn't get better; liquid battery power. Rice University has beat scientists to the next new technology advancement. The problem with today's batteries is that they're bulky and take up much space. A couple years back scientist started researching and creating a battery form that took up less space but could hold the same charge. After many experiments and tests and trials; in 2009, they created a battery on a simple page of printer paper. They used nanotubes to store energy and generate electricity. After the announcement they predicted that printable battery power would be available to the public soon since this technology had been discovered. Today we now have a technology that can be virtually painted on any surface. The liquid battery contains lithium ion and use of a solar cell. The two created light-emitting diodes to create the word "RICE" at a steady 2.4 volts. The liquid battery lasted six hours. How is that for impressive?
