MIT Boffins Discover Fast Charging Battery
Posted on Mar 12, 09 06:58 AM PDT
Researchers at MIT (where else) have stumbled upon a brand new battery material which is able to recharge 100 times faster compared to standard lithium-ion versions found in your computer or phone. Assuming further research and quantum leaps in development occurs for this new battery material, chances are we could be looking at cell phone-sized batteries that could be charged in just 10 seconds! This new material solves current battery problems by creating a "fast-lane" for ions to move around the lithium iron phosphate material. When a special surface coating is applied to the old material, ions are allowed to speed around the battery at nearly unimaginable rates, hence the rapid charging capability.
