Loudspeaker that's as thin as a sheet of foil

This looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film, but it's not, this is an actual, real-life slice of sci-fi.

British engineers at a spin-off company of Warwick University have made a groundbreaking new loudspeaker that is only 0.25mm thick, looks like tin foil and cn be printed on/used as a wall poster.

Unsurprisingly, the CEO of Warwick Audio Technologies said: 'We believe this is a truly innovative technology... Its size and flexibility means it can be used in all sorts of areas where space is at a premium.'

Unlike conventional speakers, the new 'Flat, Flexible Loudspeaker' utilises a 'bendy laminate made up of thin, conducting and insulating materials, which when vibrated by an electrical signal produces a clearer, crisper noise.'

Personally, I'm most looking forward to having a turkey basting in the oven, pumping out tunes!
