The team is led by Hanqing Jiang, an associate professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy.

There are all kinds of new electronic devices coming out that are meant to be worn and move with your body and hopefully improve your life. But the devices often have stiff, bulky batteries that can cramp your style.

KJZZ’s Science Correspondent Andrew Bernier spoke with ASU Professor Hanqing Jiang to explain some new developments in this field from researchers at ASU's Ira A Fulton Schools of Engineering.

Andrew Bernier was a senior field correspondent at KJZZ from 2014 to 2016.
