Morph Cell Phone. Honda U3X Prototype. Triangular Cell Phone. Transparent Battery. In the category of people making things you didn't know you need, researchers at Stanford University have just created a thin, flexible, totally transparent lithium-ion battery. It is about the size and shape of a Listerine breath mint strip, and as clear as Saran Wrap. According to an article on the university' website, researchers were inspired to make a see-through battery partially because they want transparent Apple products to be a reality in the future.
"I want to talk to Steve Jobs about this. I want a transparent iPhone! " said Yi Cui, battery expert extraordinaire and an associate professor of materials science at Stanford who worked on the project. Cui created the battery with graduate student Yuan Yang, who is the first author of the paper "Transparent Lithium-ion Batteries," published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. Here's how the Stanford story explains it: The battery is not strong enough to power a laptop yet, but it could power a camera. Flexible Futuristic Car. Future Bendy Cell Phones. This mobile phone is completely flexible due to the technology behind it… it uses a graphene touch screne being graphene based makes it essentially indestrucable the battery has been created by NEC which is an organic radical secondary battery it’s slim, felxible and has a high-speed charge which is it’s key feature of only taking 30 seconds to mantain a full charge. the phone is also waterproof and the main speaker and keyboard can be removed for ease of use.

Like the proverbial mouse trap, it seems like everyone is always out to design a better umbrella. While many of the results are more focused on novelty and form than function, some combine style and substance in an appealing and pragmatic way – such as this transforming umbrella-into-a-bag idea by Seung Hee Son.
The portability is of course the first and most obvious benefit of this design but certainly not the only one. In addition to collapsing into an easy-to-carry handbag, this umbrella inverts as it does so – thus, it captures the water on the inside instead of letting it drip within whatever interior space you are entering. Moreover, the designer has thought out how the transformation process will work on a step-by-step basis to ensure that everything can be done in a dry, comfortable and easy way with one hand on the handle and the other hand performing the conversion without getting wet.
