nanobatteries
Miniature energy cells
Nanobatteries are batteries built at the nanoscale—typically measured in billionths of a meter.
These miniaturized power sources use nanotechnology to achieve higher energy density, faster charging, and longer life than conventional batteries.
They're designed to power microscopic devices like medical implants, sensors, and nanorobots: Researchers developed nanobatteries small enough to power devices inside the bloodstream.
