Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for flexible batteries and methods for forming flexible batteries. A flexible battery can include a borophene sheet, a pyroelectric peptide microtubule, and a borophene cap. A first end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule can be located adjacent to the borophene sheet and the borophene cap can be located at a second end of the pyroelectric peptide microtubule. The borophene cap can collect a charge created by the pyroelectric peptide microtubule. The flexible battery also can include a collection wire that directs the charge to a borophene capacitor charge system.

In one example, the present disclosure describes a magnetic temperature sensor. For instance, in one example, an apparatus includes a first magnet, a magnetometer housing the first magnet, and a temperature converter coupled to the magnetometer. The first magnet includes a material having a magnetic field whose strength fluctuates in response to changes in temperature. The magnetic field induces an electric current in the magnetometer. The temperature converter then converts a measurement of the electric current to a corresponding measurement of temperature.

Magnetic temperature sensor

An optical core made from at least on topological insulator microfiber. A cryogenic cooling layer surrounds the optical core. An insulative layer surrounds the cryogenic cooling layer. In one embodiment, the insulative layer comprises a layer of photonic crystal material.
