Power Paper Ltd., a tiny company based in Tel Aviv, Israel, has developed a battery that can be printed directly onto paper, plastic or other flexible material.Secret SauceThe Power Paper battery produces electrical energy much like ordinary alkaline batteries. Two electrodes, or terminals, separate an electrolyte — a chemical compound that generates negative ions. Connecting the battery's two terminals — say, with a light bulb or a motor — completes the circuit, allowing the electricity to flow and power whatever is attached.
