Printable, flexible battery offers 10 times the density of lithium-ion.
I remember last year I was thinking about how the Apollo Lunar missions would have benefited from modern technology, to provide better performance through less weight, more compact components, more processing power, etc. I thought that modern lithium batteries would have been a much better thing than the silver-zinc ones they used, but it appeared not to be the case, although the 1960’s batteries couldn’t be recharged, they were lighter and have better energy density than our modern batteries.

Hmmm … odd, I don’t know what happened there.
Anyway this one should work – Link

Oooh, and I guessed correctly with the un-munting of the link.

The original link doesn’t contain https:// and some quirk in the software fits extra stuff in its place, but not the correct stuff.

Ta, I’ll try to remember that for next time.

> The result of this is a flexible, stretchable battery with an areal capacity of 50 milliamps per square centimeter, which the team says is 10 to 20 times greater than that of a typical lithium-ion battery.

¿ Interesting, very.
¿ True, unsure.

I’ve never seen battery power expressed as amps per square cm before.

For space flight with a printed battery the shell of the spacecraft could be used as a shield for the occupants ?
