Nearly a year after
NEC rolled out its
paper-thin ORB batteries, Korean battery manufacturer Rocket is launching (ahem) its own uber-thin battery. While juicy, scientific details aren't readily available, we do know that the "paper battery" won't include any
toxic chemicals, is "flexible and thin," and molds together the companies "thin film technologies" with its battery knowledge. The company hopes to entice heavy
RFID users,
smart card manufacturers, and "cosmetic / drug delivery system" providers to utilize the paper battery in powering the already-miniscule devices. Oddly, Rocket also envisions its new creation being used in "teeth whitening, anti-aging, and wrinkle care," though we're not exactly sure how
electrifying a tooth will brighten your smile. Nevertheless, the company hopes to have its newfangled power source attached to
crates and
body parts real soon, and confidently assures us that it "doesn't cause
explosions or
fires." Phew. [Warning: Read link requires subscription]

The thought of electrifying teeth makes me think of the future - LCD Teeth!! Just think of the awesome grillz that rappers will have when they can have LCD images on all of their toofs!
Finally! I get get that LED implant in my teeth for that anime inspired gleaming smile!

The gold already makes them look ridiculous.
the uses for cosmetics and anti-aging cream is for loss prevention.
I spent a summer, a couple years ago, as a security guard at Target.
No-one, and I mean no-one, steals as much as a mom with a stroller.
Male thieves go for high-dollar items, but they go for it as fast as they can. They're also very uncommon.
Female thieves take their time, they shop, they check for cameras, and they only steal in quantities of less than $50.
Where are the Korean models showing how thin these are?
