Scientists have just unveiled a tiny solid-state battery measuring only several tens of cubic millimeters, which is designed to fit inside a contact lens and power the next generation of ocular wearables.
The microbattery, which was developed by UAE-based deep-tech firm XPANCEO and French energy storage company ITEN, tackles safe and ultra-compact power, one of the greatest challenges in the industry.
According to XPANCEO, the collaboration aims to deliver ultra-thin, durable, and stable energy storage that is safe for use in devices worn directly on the human eye.
“By combining ITEN’s solid-state energy storage technology with cutting-edge smart lens navigation, the ITEN partnership with XPANCEO opens a new frontier in compact, high-power energy solutions,” Vincent Cobée, ITEN CEO, revealed.
