Researchers at Stanford University are working toward creating a better battery. That process involves a lot of technology and chemistry, but in the end the result would be higher-efficiency batteries for electronics as well as other devices, including cars.
I still believe that the future of self-powered devices lies in the fuel cell. That technology has lagged for years now. I’ve written blog posts that claimed we’d have “within years,” but that’s never come to pass.
If this new lithium anode technology proves stable and cheap — and it doesn’t cause any dimensional warps between here and where monsters live — then it could prove to be a boon for the mobile technology industry.
