Graphene and carbon nanotubes combined to create flexible, wearable supercapacitor [feedly]

Shared via feedly // published on Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine // visit site
An international team of researchers has developed a supercapacitor composed of graphene and carbon nanotubes that is claimed flexible enough to be woven into clothing and potentially powerful enough to offer a real alternative to batteries for use in portable devices. Capable of being charged and discharged in excess of 10,000 cycles, the new supercapacitor also promises to be significantly lighter, faster to charge, and more robust than current battery technology. ..
