<article> <section class="page"> <p>Over the years, consumer electronics have improved in almost every way, becoming thinner, lighter, and more pixel-packed, all while increasing exponentially in performance. But beating at the heart of many mobile devices and even electric cars is a technology that hasn’t kept up with the rapid pace of innovation: batteries. Specifically, lithium-ion batteries.</p><p>Battery tech is a limiting factor in the design of many of today’s technologies. Researchers at Nanyang Technology University (http://media.ntu.edu.sg/NewsReleases/Pages/newsdetail.aspx?news=809fbb2f-95f0-4995-b5c0-10ae4c50c934) say they’ve discovered a way to build a better battery, however—a battery that charges in mere minutes and lasts an amazing 20 years.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2825085/breakthrough-batteries-last-20-years-charge-70-percent-in-two-minutes.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Breakthrough batteries last 20 years, charge 70 percent in two minutes (http://www.macworld.com/article/2825085/breakthrough-batteries-last-20-years-charge-70-percent-in-two-minutes.html#tk.rss_all) |
