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

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.

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.

Cool. My new cordless drill will go for two weeks on a battery.

If we could marry this battery with 10 times the charge with a battery that chargs 90 percent in 5 minutes things would look realy good. Also don’t forget about the Tesla car that is due to be released early next year. It runs off of double AA batteries.

December 13, 2007 Toshiba have stunned the world with their announcement of what’s pretty much the holy grail in Lithium battery technology – the Super Charge ion Battery, which recharges up to 90% of its energy in just five minutes, and has a lifespan of over 10 years. Slow charging has been the key hurdle to public acceptance of battery-electric vehicles as viable distance travelers, so this breakthrough has all sorts of implications for the automotive industry as well as being a very welcome upgrade to a whole host of other portable devices.

The breakthrough is described in a paper, "High-performance lithium battery anodes using silicon nanowires,"

Obviously the guy who came up with this title is a researcher, not a marketer.

Now this is the kind of stuff that’s worthy of a patent. I hope he makes billions.

"Cui said that a patent application has been filed. He is considering formation of a company or an agreement with a battery manufacturer. "

Is not Stanford a publicly funded Univercity? Do not that mean that products developed and discoveries made belong to the public?
