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.

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!

When researchers applied Thai’s plexiglass-like gel to gold nanowires in a manganese dioxiode shell, it increased that number to over 200,000 and the battery didn’t lose any of its power or storage capacity over a period of three months.

I think a lot of this success has to do with using gold nanowires. Gold doesn't corrode as easily as other materials over time when in an electrolyte solution with electrical activity. Corrosion would reduce power and storage capacity over time.

The side effect is that this will distrupt Apple’s business model, because they time their product announcements to match their battery lifetime.

This could be a big breakthrough for solar power.
It could make it economically viable by providing a cheap and long life means of storing the energy for use when it is dark or there is peak demand.

It is limiting to have a power source that only works well in bright daylight.

NOT a dupe, just another article from the month of April about the same breakthrough from UC Irvine.

Great! And instead of using sparse reserves of Lithium, we can use... GOLD? Dammit. Oh, well... still really cool.
