Electric eels inspired an international team of researchers to develop soft power cells that could run devices in a person's body like pacemakers, health monitors, or augmented-reality contact lenses. Their power source - which Smithsonian.com described as a foldable battery - can generate around 110 volts. Although that's far less than an eel could produce, the researchers say their work is a key first step in further understanding of soft power sources. Related: This robotic "eel" hunts...
