Vacuum cleaner wielding superheroes are about to be taken a lot more seriously, and LG just made a demonstrative show of power for their newest battery. Professional climber Sierra Blair-Coyle was the guinea pig for a daring proof of power: LG CordZero batteries powered two vacuum cleaners that helped her summit a 33-story building in South Korea.

LG announced today an ultra-slim, flexible 18-inch display that rolls into a cylinder without being damaged.
Google’s event will take place on September 29, but that hasn’t stopped their newest Nexus devices from leaking.
