Scientists at Waseda University have created a see-through battery. The device uses "organic radical" technology which is flexible and transparent. "One major feature of this battery is apparently takes only one minute to charge and can last over 1,000 cycles. Still it is on early development stage and the developers did not give any information about how much juice the battery can produce."
Implications - Technology in its early stages of development is a popular consumer choice as the association between status and being "ahead of the game" in up and coming technology continues to grow. As a result of the consumer need to own products of the future, the market for products that will eventually make current products in circulation obsolete is an expanding one and production of these has increased dramatically.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Flexible See-through Batteries
- See-through batteries with organic radical technology that are flexible and can charge in one minute could disrupt the battery industry.
- Quick-charging Batteries
- One-minute charging batteries could disrupt the energy storage industry by providing quick recharge time for devices.
- Transparent Electronics
- The development of transparent batteries could lead to further advancements in transparent electronic technology, such as transparent displays.
Sectors Adopting This
- Battery Industry
- Flexible and quick-charging batteries with new technology have the potential to disrupt the current battery industry.
- Energy Storage Industry
- Quick-charging batteries could disrupt the energy storage industry by making traditional energy storage methods obsolete.
- Electronic Industry
- Development of transparent batteries could spur advancements in the transparent electronic industry, including transparent displays and screens.
