Unique hole type and placement makes a wearable battery more bendable and breathable

A team of engineers and materials scientists from the U.S. has found that holes of a certain size and shape placed in certain locations can turn a slightly flexible and stretchy battery pouch into one that can be stretched significantly or folded 180 degrees. In their paper published in Matter, the group describes how they came up with the design and explain how it makes a battery that is barely stretchy into one that can be folded.
