Scientists have created biodegradable batteries that can be buried in soil after use.

 

The paper-thin biodegradable zinc batteries could one day become an environmentally sustainable option for powering smartphones and flexible wearable electronic devices.

 

Once the battery has been expended, it can be buried in soil, where it breaks down completely within a month.

 

The scientists think their printed battery could be integrated into flexible electronics such as foldable smart phones that are already on the market, or biomedical sensors for health monitoring.

 

Today is The Winter Solstice. Happy Yule!
