A Standford researcher has undertaken the incredible task of looking into the field of transparency for the next power source. While looking at other major electronic components and noticing displays, transistors, and other circuitry, he noticed the lack-off a transparency power source.
So researcher Yi Cui along with his team, took the novelty of implanting an electrode pattern into a superfine mesh, which in turn allowed an energy dense battery. Building a new frame work for the soft mesh material, they build a complete battery only needing two layers filled with electric material. They used that standard lithium-ion battery with a gel electrolyte (also clear) and made the whole battery see through. So with this new research the possibility of see through batteries in our future gadgets has become a possibility and they could become commercialized in four years time.

Why are they making useful things? America doesn't want useful things, we want a cell phone that can also be used to listen to music, watch TV, feed our cat, and fit under our fingernail.
That's awesome! I've heard the first news about these kind of battery one year ago.
It's great to see that they've accomplished the task.
Wow! great news bro!!!!!
wow. saw this earlier and was gobsmacked. thought the effect would have worn off by now. obviously not. WOW
Cool! No really that's awesome!
Wow, thats crazy. Great news.
Awesome! Sounds like great innovation! I am applying to stanford this fall and visiting the campus next month!! :D
Thanks for the post. Feel free to check out my blog -- I have rewarded your kindne$$ in advance, hope you'll return the favor(:
That is so cool...
The future is now?
really interesting!
This is excellent news:)
this is great. i would love to see this happen especially if it is more efficient
Holy crap! Freaking cool as hell!
That's amazing!
That is awesome.
wow that is incredible, see through batteries! I remember seeing something a year or two about israeli engineers had created batteries that were paper-thin and flexible for this like wrist-wrapping displays, still waiting to see it in a product though...
It's amazing what peoples minds are able to invent.
Crazy mate, this makes the idea of a completely see through phone or electric device seem possible!
LOL! This is AWESOME, but useless. Why should I look through a battery?
What is the use of transparent batteries? Other than the fact that they look cool.
damn that looks pretty cool! Nice stuff!
That's awesome and doesn't take much space at all!!
Now that is a great improvement. Maybe soon we can see digital devices that are at least mostly transparent!
man, technology is moving fast
Is the battery most beautiful that I ever seem. (oooohh)
Okay and when is this battery on the market? Does it work longer then the normal do nowdays?
"What is the use of transparent batteries? Other than the fact that they look cool."
Seriously, I'm asking the same question right now.
Doesn't seem very useful though :P.
Would be cool to have complete see through phones and screens in the future
Yeah that would be surreal, like those future societies where every thing is made of clear glass.
wow pre damn pointless but still cool beans O:
The future is going to be beautiful, I can tell. :)
The Truth About Genetics
That's pretty awesome fair play!
This will look great along with transparent cell phones that I saw some time ago on gizmodo.
transparency is cool but its not that useful will it meet the energy requirements of today's technology!
They should just make nuclear reactors smaller so we can use those instead of zinc/lithium batteries
Let's hope they put one in my Samsung Focus, the battery might actually have a respectable life span then.
