Abstract :
Fuel-coated nanotubes could provide bursts of power to the smallest systems. One of the greatest challenges in all of technology right now is improving energy storage. And while we know how to make batteries bigger-add more cells-we are up against fundamental limits as we try to scale down rechargeable energy sources into the micro realm and beyond.
