Batteries pose a trade-off for mobile device designers. You can use a bigger batter to get a longer run between recharges, but it will result in a device that is larger and heavier. As a result, researchers are constantly working on new technologies that can store...

Sensors and other devices such as pacemakers are designed to be implanted into the human body. These items need a power source, and one of the most common approaches is to include a lithium ion battery. This is well-proven technology, and can have a useful life of up...
