«This opens a broad window into many different topics in electrochemistry, including sodium - ion batteries, lithium - sulfur batteries, multiple ion chemistries involving zinc and magnesium, or
even electroplating and electrochemical synthesis; we just have not fully explored them yet.»
The body, which
even at its thinnest point feels quite rigid, is made of an
electroplated polymer (more accurately, it's plastic, clad in metal, clad in a plastic finish).
