The KIMM research team led by Dr. Bongkyun Jang and Dr. Seungmin Hyun at the Department of Nano-Mechanics has developed a battery with high safety and stretchability by mimicking the design of the scales and flexible joints found in the structure of snake scales. Upon zooming in on the battery, one can see that it consists of a hexagonal battery and flexible electrical interconnections. The stretchable structure is realized by the flexible interconnections that can freely fold and unfold.

The new component is made of silicon nitride and consists of nine separate waveguides (left). Each waveguide is composed of 22 spirals and can amplify light by about ten times with a noise figure of only 1.2 decibels. Each spiral (right) has an area of 1 square millimeter and the shape enables the compact design of the amplifier.
