Researchers Create Battery that Can Charge in Seconds
Phone Scoop - Latest News — ... of the tunnels, they don't enter the tunnel and can't produce a charge. The MIT researchers have essentially created an easier way for the ions to reach and enter these tunnels, which they are calling a "beltway". This method for charging means batteries don't lose their capacity to charge over time. It also allows for faster charging, and smaller batteries that carry the same capacity. Smaller batteries can lead to smaller, lighter battery-powered devices. more info at BBC more info at Engadget 1 comment on this news item Related news: Stanford Researchers ...
