Traditional light bulbs that produce light by heating a filament until it glows. They are known for being highly inefficient, with most energy wasted as heat.

A nanostructure that manipulates light. In this context, they surround the filament to capture infrared radiation and reflect it back.

A rechargeable battery technology first developed by Thomas Edison in the early 1900s, which was widely used for decades. Stanford researchers have improved its durability, flexibility, and power.

A rechargeable nickel-iron battery technology that has been improved by Stanford researchers to be more durable, flexible, and powerful, with rapid charging capabilities.

Traditional light bulbs that were first commercialized by Thomas Edison. They are known for being inefficient, with most energy wasted as heat.
