The battery is also safer to use because it does not use a liquid electrolyte.

What you need to know

Standford researchers have developed a new type of battery for wearable devices.
The use of a new polymer makes the battery flexible.
The lack of a liquid electrolyte means they’re also safer and less likely to combust.

The wizards at Stanford have debuted a new magical device that stores the power of the gods within a piece of chewing gum, reports the Hogwarts Daily.

I’m just kidding. They did, however, make a flexible battery that looks exactly like a piece of chewing gum. Take a look at the newfangled power hoarder in action below:

It uses a new type of plastic as its electrolyte, which allows it to be as flexible as it is. The Stanford Engineering Magazine reports that the battery maintained its power output even when “squeezed, folded and stretched to nearly twice its original length,” making it not only ideal for situations where an electronic device may be subjected …

These are the best shooting action games for Android in 2020

31 1 月, 2020 Marc Lagace 0

Spill some blood with the best Android shooters currently on the market.

Professional and/or competitive shooter games are fast becoming a sustainable industry trend for mobile gaming with both game development and smartphone hardware reaching the point where phones can absolutely deliver top-notch gaming experiences — even for first-person shooters.

This still probably sounds like crazy talk to traditional PC gamers but the facts are that mobile shooters have cut out a nice niche within the pro-gaming community — franchises such as PUBG Mobile and Guns of Boom have competitive eSports leagues that can be advantageous to people who love to stream or try playing for cash in tournament. Just like other online games for console or PC, mobile games reward teams who can practice and train together — or you can just jump into the game and have some fun on your phone.
