Indian-led team makes flexible organic battery for pacemaker
A UK-based team led by Indian researcher Dr Geetha Srinivasan has designed a flexible and organic battery that could power-up medical implants. Made up of non-flammable electrolytes, the battery can be easily decomposed without incurring high recycling costs. Further, the flexible design would not cause discomfort when implanted under a patient's skin along with a pacemaker, said Srinivasan.
