Ultra-Thin Fuel Cells

The 'myFC LAMINA Thin Film' Fuel Cell Is Being Unveiled at CES 2017

— January 3, 2017 — Tech
The myFC LAMINA Thin Film fuel cell is an incredibly slim piece of technology that can make charging portable devices like smartphones and tablets easier than ever. The fuel cell can be flush mounted into portable devices, meaning that it does not protrude at all while still allowing users to charge their devices without access to a wall jack.

Though the race to create the tiniest portable devices has mercifully ceased, a new race has been underway for years now. Rather than creating smaller devices, companies have been competing to pack as much power as possible into a standard sized smartphone or tablet. The myFC LAMINA Thin Film cell is the world's thinnest of such technology. This puts it at the forefront of charging options for smartphones and tablets, as it can provide power and fast charging without added space.
