 |  Italians make edible batteries Getting a pizza of battery development A team of researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Milan recently created a fully rechargeable battery using nontoxic edible components. Top IIT boffin Mario Caironi said that the batteries have been made so that they can be installed in kids’ toys. Children have a nasty habit of swallowing batteries in toys because they can. Caironi said that other than serving as an alternative to conventional toxic toy batteries, the edible battery from IIT could also play a key role in making healthcare applications safer. Doctors have to be cautious about small electronic devices (such as drug-delivery robots, biosensors, etc.) inside the human body, as they come equipped with batteries made of toxic substances. https://fudzilla.com/news/56863-ital...ible-batteries |
