Though they be but little, they are fierce. The most powerful batteries on the planet are only a few millimeters in size, yet they pack such a punch that a driver could use a cellphone powered by these batteries to jump-start a dead car battery -- and then recharge the phone in the blink of an eye.

The only batteries that need to be advertised with amoebas rather than bunnies.
Suddenly, cellphone battery life exceeds 2 days.
What would happen if you were to lick one of these batteries?
Seriously though, this is awesome.

I am so fucking stoked for this new battery tech, it's crazy!
Takes no time to charge, stores huge amount of energy and you can discharge pretty much in any way you want!

Maybe we can finally have stunsticks now
Thank fuck! The only thing really holding back mobile technology is battery tech
Think light longer lasting phones and tablets, and cars that can drive across the world

Cell phone stun guns.

Bit of a shame they don't offer any details on how it works, other than "3D lattice". Would be nice to know a bit more of the physics behind it.
I'm sensing good vibes for owners of vibrators.

Yeah the article is awfully light on the science.

I can play games on my laptop for over 10 hours finally?

You make it seem like cell phones are shit for not lasting 2 days.
Usually people complain about eight hour batteries or something.

Is the 3d lattice explained here similar (or same) to crystal lattices in chemistry?

2 days is still bad though
[QUOTE] interdigitated three-dimensional bicontinuous nanoporous electrodes[/QUOTE]
oh god why
[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;40307581]2 days is still bad though[/QUOTE]
Idk, man, I'd kill for two days
imagine what phones and shit will be like when we invent the most hardcore batteries. i'm talking about week+ smartphone batteries, flexible batteries, very durable resilient batteries....
best part is a lot of these cool dumb ideas will probably be common by the time i'm retired and almost dead.
My phone battery last for like, two weeks.
Then again, it sits on my desk and I get a call maybe, one every other day.

The implications for the robotics industry are also massive, battery tech has been holding back mobile robots for a while now.
It's going to get to the point where a battery will last someone their entire life and then some.
Heh maybe I won't have to change the 9 volts in pedals soon.
Come on FP, be creative.
Laser rifles, or portable Rail Guns.
Does anyone happen to have access to the full PDF of the article?
Personally, I would really like to see some hard numbers as to the specifications and statistics of these batteries - some actual measurements and such. All I can find on the abstract is something about 7.4 mW / cm^(-2), which is a measurement I have never heard of before.
I am genuinely interested in just how impressive these little buggers are, compared to contemporary batteries and capacitors.
I remember seeing something like this a while back, they said that the only drawback was that you could only charge it for around 5 times and then it would die. Can anyone post a quote about their lifetime?
My phone battery lasts less than a day I NEED THIS.
How does this compare to graphene supercapacitors?
