Detroit will buy it up and bury it, because it could lead to the electric car. Who made Steve Guttenberg a star?

Research on silicon in batteries began three decades ago.
Geezer Geek ping.
This is a very low-volume ping list (typically days to weeks between pings).
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this list.

I think they’d be pretty great to have on a number of different products, but could you imagine what kind of explosion it would be if one of these things went ‘boom’?

Stanford is in California.
California doesn't like electricity or things electric.
We will never hear about this again.

He beats on people with a cell phone? I wouldn't be surprised ( :^D ), but no, I meant the the magic cellphone batteries he uses that never run dry no matter long he uses the phone.

Exactly. It would be nice to actually have enough juice to get some serious work in on a long flight.

Appreciate the ping.
Every little increase in the amount of usable energy being stored counts.

What I like about this story is that it isn’t filled with words like might, may, could, if sucessful would. If this story is accurate I might actually be able to buy one of these things in a couple of years.

Yes, Cell phones and laptops would not come to my mind while reading this, 10 times is not a small improvement.
Segway, 7 miles = 70 miles; Car 100 miles = 1000miles.

Talk about brownouts....wait till EVERYBODY plugs in to re-charge at the same time.Someone posted something about a power company building battery substations to handle increasing demands. IIRC, the idea is that excess electricity produced overnight will be used to charge the batteries which will then be used the next day to supply more electricity when it's needed.
I hope the above is reasonably clear.
