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.
