I removed the 's and the ' ' in order to make it FR search friendly.
Enjoy.

WOW! That's great news!
Now if they would just embed solar chargers onto the laptop back, I could conceivably not even have to worry about plugging the thing in!

Low battery efficiency has been a bottle neck against many scientific developments.

This is WAY cool...and the tip of a very large iceberg

Does this mean I will be able to recharge my electric car faster than I can fill the tank with gas?

If it can charge in a minute, this means that the internal resistance of the battery is VERY low. Internal resistance limits how fast a battery can charge ...
but ...
it also limits how fast a battery can discharge. So, if this battery shorts (ie. water) this will discharge a lot of power in a very short period of time. This means that a LOT of heat will be generated.
Not saying this isn't a great invention; I am saying that there are going to be inherent dangers in this as well.

Okay, if true what is going to be come very valuable or what is going to be valueless?

When you make a quantum jump forward, you also open a bunch of doors. Some of these doors are positive, some are negative. As long as we know these doors are there, we are safe.
I just don't like surprises.

Unless it has builtin diode-like limiting circuit, perhaps?

It would need some kind of internal fuse

I personally still boycott all Toshiba products since the late 1980's. Toshiba was working with US defense contractors on top secret "silent propulsion" technology for our Navy submarines, and then sold some of that same info to the Soviets. Reagan slapped them on the wrist. If it was me, no Toshiba product would have ever landed on US shores ever again.

Hmmm .. doing a little Google searching .. it seems that the discharge of these batteries can be precisely controlled, allowing for nearly infinite shelf life. Perhaps, just guessing, it could also allow for incremental discharging - only allowing a controlled portion of the surface area to discharge at a given time, limiting the output current, without limiting the recharge current.
This is not your fathers battery.

A breakthrough technology applied to the negative electrode uses new nano-particles to prevent organic liquid electrolytes from reducing during battery recharging. The nano-particles quickly absorb and store vast amount of lithium ions, without causing any deterioration in the electrode.
The quick charging has nothing to do with the internal resistance.
