Using a combination of carbon nano-tubes and silicon substrate, the gaps between the tubes were then filled in with cellulose (psstt, that's paper). So not only are these batteries small, their incredibly flexible, so goodbye brick phones and hello banana phone.

Researchers create Paper Thin Batteries, Super Models feel Fat
Researchers from RPI and MIT have created batteries that are not only paper thin, but are also biodegradable. Two problems that face the cure slew of batteries are size and waste. Batteries today are one of the huge limitations on the size of many electronic devices and disposing of them is hazardous to the environment.
