Sean sent me a link to this news article about an amazing break through in battery storage using nano particles
Nanoparticle Enables World Record for Energy Storage in Batteries - IEEE Spectrum:
If they are able to scale this up and get it into production, this breakthrough will allow 5 times the amount of energy to be stored in a battery. That will mean that car batteries will allow a car to travel 5 times as far between charging, and all of our hand held devices will last longer before needing to be plugged in. I think it could dramatically change how we use devices. It will make all other batteries obsolete!
Right now it is just Stanford University, SLAC and a scientist named Yi Cui. However what ever company gets the first licenses for this new technology may be a good investment.
