A Breakthrough in Batteries - 3X Power with Reccharge in Minutes

Interesting.

PBS' Nova recently produced a episode titled "Search for the Super Battery" that anyone interested in where the technology is headed may want to watch. If your not a subscriber there's bootleg copies on YouTube.
 
At first I thought this was an April Fools prank. When I checked the inventor's unusual name, I found this is on the Up&Up!
 
Just an FYI - there is a lot of global battery research and most of those "great in the lab" achievements do not make it to the market. A year or so ago, I was reading a piece about Tesla, where Musk said that they were following some fifty odd (56, from memory) different science projects all across the globe.

More background from the MIT.

PS. This doesn't mean there haven't been any improvements but that they have been very gradual.
