How Structural Batteries Just Got 10X Better. Use code UNDECIDED for 50% off your first order of Sundays for Dogs: https://sundaysfordogs.com/UNDECIDED When is a battery more than just a battery? That’s not a riddle. A battery is more than a battery when it’s also a wall… or a floor, or even part of your car, or a plane. But what if that same battery could cut a laptop’s weight in half or slim your phone down to the thickness of a credit card? That’s the mind-bending potential of structural batteries, which combine energy storage and structural support into a single material. It’s a wild idea that could reshape how we build electronics, vehicles, and even aircraft — if we can make it work. Designing something that satisfies the needs of a structure and a battery is not easy. Is the juice worth the squeeze?
