Swiss deep-tech startup BTRY unveils a new class of energy storage devices that eliminate size, safety, and charging constraints.

Unveiled at CES 2026 by Empa spin-off BTRY, this groundbreaking solid-state lithium-ion battery technology introduces a paradigm shift in consumer electronics and medical technology. Starting at just 0.1 mm thickness, the thin-film design enables flexible applications while maintaining operational safety at temperatures up to 150°C. By applying solid-state processes from semiconductor manufacturing directly to battery production, the innovation circumvents the need for liquid electrolytes. This intrinsic safety and high-speed power delivery fundamentally alter device architecture constraints, promising to power the next generation of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, smart labels, and medical implants without the bulk of conventional lithium-ion cells.
