There was a time, not so long ago, when computers were so large, they occupied entire rooms.
Today, some processing units can come as small as a few specks of dust.Even next to a grain of rice, these stacks of micrometer-sized chips look infinitesimal, Reuters reported.Shrinking computer batteries to fit that size, however, has proved more challenging.Some scientists in Europe are therefore proposing an alternative structure: a microbattery based on folding micro thin layers like origami.The battery is just a prototype for now, but the preliminary results are encouraging.
There is still a huge optimization potential for this technology, and we can expect much stronger microbatteries in the future,& says physicist Oliver Schmidt from the Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany.The post Scientists unveil micro battery for the smallest computers in the world first appeared on Ariana News..
