This is due to the small size of wearable tech which lives little room for big batters like smartphones.

It is perhaps this reason that wearables like smartwatch have not taken the way they should.

However, now scientists seem to have found the answer for battery in wearables that could revolutionise the tech.

New ultra-thin, flexible solar cells that are 100 times smaller than human hair

These solar cells could power wearable electronics like fitness trackers and smart glasses.

The researchers made the ultra-thin solar cells from the semiconductor gallium arsenide.

Likewise, bending tests disclosed that the cells are able to bend around radius as small as 1.4 millimetres.
