Simple lithium-ion battery usually is better not to bend and do not twist, because it contained components are very sensitive to water in contact with it to explode or catch fire. But the new battery, created by scientists, can not only bend, but also to tie a knot, not caring about their own health.

Work on flexible lithium-ion battery began in 2015, once the military chemical laboratories of the USA together with scientists from the University of Maryland has created a «safe and environmentally friendly option» battery, just by adding a bit of salt. Now the developers of one of only adding salt battery is not limited, and turned the electrolyte in a gel which allowed literally bending out of new batteries bagels.

Did not affect the quality of the new batteries and different operating conditions. The battery was watered, kept in the sun, cut off from her pieces and exposing other tests. Battery, just wrapped insulating tape, did not react to bullying and continued to work normally. It seems that soon the us military will appear to cool the batteries.
