Cell phones as thin and flex�ible as a sheet of paper. Energy-??storing house paint. Roll-??up touch screen dis�plays. But if any of them is to work, said North�eastern Uni�ver�sity mechan�ical and indus�trial engi�neering pro�fessor Yung Joon Jung, experts also need to create a thin and flex�ible energy-??storage system. His lab has devel�oped such a system.
