Flexible battery
Overview
Through a bio-inspired origami design of electrode material structure, a high-density foldable flexible lithium-ion battery is proposed, which conforms to both complex deformation and high energy density, and may be tailored into any shape and fit into any space. The one-piece material structure serves as both structural and energy storage components, which may extend battery life effectively.

Lingnan University
Lingnan University, a venerable institution in Hong Kong's academic landscape, has a rich heritage that dates back to its founding in Guangzhou in 1888. Known in its earlier years as Lingnan Xuexiao and subsequently as Lingnan University, the institution flourished in the field of higher education until 1952. It was reborn in Hong Kong in 1967 and has since aspired to evolve into a distinguished research-focused liberal arts university for the digital age. Lingnan is committed to excellence in teaching, learning, research, and fostering community ties, aiming for international acclaim.
