And the best part is that they stumbled upon this solution by accident. No, that's probably the worst part. Or at least a stupid thing to say.
Determined, planned research would be the best way to develop things, so we would not have to rely on stupid luck to advance civilization.

Break through in battery technology may result in batteries that never wear out. 200,000 recharge cycles possible due to accidental discovery at University of California Irvine. — PING!

Interesting. But will it make them cheaper and lighter?

This battery idea will go the same way as the 200 MPG gas engine.
Down a rabbit hole.

You mean like Velcro, Teflon, penicillin, microwave ovens, and vulcanized rubber?
To: Balding_Eagle
You call it luck. The journalist called it a gift from the battery gods. The truth lies somewhere between those extremes ... can you say ‘serendipity’?

No, that's probably the worst part. Or at least a stupid thing to say. A lot of things are discovered that are unanticipated side effects of other research that was looking for something else. synthetic dyes, for example. Penicillin was an accidental discovery. So were Radiography showing bones and the medical benefits of them. All accidental. There's a word for that: Serendipity.

Don’t forget inkjet technology! d;^)
To: Balding_Eagle; Swordmaker
Agreed, but is also true that many things were discovered quite by accident, and people who recognize those unexpected things and investigate them are very valuable, as are the accidental things.
Some of the greatest discoveries have been accidents.

I am old enough now to have read about the newest stunning save the world advances in battery technology a few dozen times. Unfortunately it is always 5 to 10 years away

Year after year for decades, we’ve received news of magic battery discoveries. We were saved by magic batteries long ago, but new ones are frequently invented.
Everything is A-okay!

Don’t forget penicillin, too. Now if it were only able to kill the Obummer pathogen; I fear that thing is a super-bug, resistant to everything we can throw against it.
