From light-up shoes to smart watches, wearable electronics are gaining traction among consumers, but these gadgets' versatility is still held back by the stiff, short-lived batteries that are required.

It can also self-charge batteries or supercapacitors without an external power source and make new commercial and medical applications possible.
