ScienCentral Video News: Super Battery

Ever wish you could charge your cellphone or laptop in a few seconds rather than hours? As this ScienCentral News video explains, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are developing a battery that could do just that, and also might never need to be replaced. …Joel Schindall and his team at M.I.T. plan to make long charge times and expensive replacements a thing of the past–by improving on technology from the past. They turned to the capacitor, which was invented nearly 300 years ago. Schindall explains, “We made the connection that perhaps we could take an old product, a capacitor, and use a new technology, nanotechnology, to make that old product in a new way….”

What a great way to save time and money. Reading the article has helped me realize that technology impact our lives in so many ways. I wonder what they will name the batter. Super Duracell? Enegergizer Plus?

Well, since this is the same institution that brought us the $100 laptop, perhaps they'll call it the world battery, and give it to everyone.

I can't imagine how much it is going to cost.

Hi Jason,

That is just AMAZING! I can't imagine the technology we would have in the next 10-20 years. It blows my mind. I feel very fortunate to live in a day and age where I actually get to witness these remarkable inventions:-)

Wow!! when i got my last phone i thought it was amazing to find out that it only took 45 minutes to charge my phone. Years from now we probably won't need to charge our phones at all.

Hi Dr.J,
Being able to charge my cellphone in a few seconds would be great. My cell is forever running low, as I use it so much!!!!

Wow! I've had to buy a new cell phone because I couldn't get a new battery for my older phone. Maybe they will come up a way to revive an old battery too. You never know with technology in the next year........ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

After reading the good news, i like the idea of charging batteries in less time is good because this saves time in this hectic world.
