I just read about this on a Yahoo article. So according to some scientists from Stanford, they successfully turned paper (with ink and some other material) into some type of 'paper battery'. With this discovery, they can use this as a way to store energy in a much lighter fashion. This means that using this technology will help to dramatically reduce the weight of things such as laptops, or cars. If you want to read more on it, you can search the original article (that I read) on Yahoo and search for 'Scientists say paper battery could be in the works'. So what is your guys' opinion on this? Do you think that this could really work? Do you think it's a good idea?

fasinating. Do you have a link to the article? I'd love to see some more detail. Imagine the possibilities. Much lighter hybrid cars giving even better fuel milage. Spacecraft that are much lighter and have more room for hauling cargo. The possibilites are endless. Anyway, I'd love a link to the article if you still have it. Great post.

It is fascinating, just thinking about what this discovery could do for our future. It's definitely overwhelming to just think about it.
I'm not sure if I can post a link up here, so is it okay if I add you and PM you the link to the article?

Hi, I apologize for the late response. I didn't see the comment until now. I will just add you and PM you the link because I'm not allowed to copy and paste in the box yet.
