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.

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.

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.

This is one for the bookmark file.
I wonder how scalable it is. How big can we make it, and what kinds of things could we power with it? (...besides notebook computers, cells, PDAs, etc.)
