MIT this week showcased tiny batteries designed specifically for the purpose of powering these systems to execute tasks as varied as targeting drug delivery inside the human body to checking pipelines for gas leaks. The power source measures 0.1 millimeter long by 0.002 millimeter thick — roughly as thick as a strand of hair.
Despite the barely visible size, the researchers say the batteries can generate up to 1 volt, which can be used to power a sensor, circuit or even a moving actuator.
