US Department of Energy doubles lithium-ion battery capacity with spongy silicon
2014-07-09 15:53:20| Extremetech

Unlike some other battery advances that won't see the light of day for years to come (if at all), this energy storage breakthrough could actually find its way into commercial devices fairly soon. As is fairly normal nowadays, nanotech is the magic ingredient; nanostructured silicon sponges to be exact.
