Rubin Farr Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Seems like a big advancement, a lot of people have been working on the next big break thru in battery technology, could this be it? Mobile devices, cars, connected devices, public transportation, the applications could be endless. Hopefully this will kick the electric auto industry in the ass and move it into regular & affordable production.http://news.mit.edu/2016/lithium-metal-batteries-double-power-consumer-electronics-0817 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy storage fore rechargable batteries is one field that you should always remain skeptical about when someone announces a breakthrough. I remember someone telling me that they are still a very long ways away from having a battery that can have efficient storage capabilities and even if we did it would be cost-prohibitive to mass produce for even longer. If someone did invent a new renewable battery storage system that lasted a very long time without additional energy being added in, was economic to build and durable it would be a HUGE breakthrough though and would make green energy actually viable.

ambermonk Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The greener, the better. Too bad I'm a hypocrite for driving a combustion-engine car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adieu Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Shouldn't we have nuclear powered tech by now? What's the hold up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This battery has been going for 176 years so far, that's definitely better than my phone - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys might appreciate this one if you hadn't seen it already http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/energy-storage-hits-the-rails-out-west/ I wish I knew more about thermodynamics, but my sense is that technological advances energy sequestration and storage face a real uphill battle ( ) with diminishing returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
