Materials scientists have invented clay, which is both highly conductive and can easily be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes. It represents a turn away from the rather complicated and costly processing — currently used to make materials for lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors —- and toward one that looks a bit like rolling out cookie dough with results that are even sweeter from an energy storage standpoint.
