great news. i wonder how prone it is to catching on fire. and how hot it gets during recharging.

I call dibs on using the planet Venus as a battery and all sulfur mining operations from there.

This is exciting. A transformational technology maybe.

I wish I had a dollar for every new battery technology that never made it to market.

X4 energy density would bring human-pilot-on-board electric helicopters into reality. Fixed-wing aircraft also, undoubtedly.
Among many other things, some not so nice.

I can imagine one of those batteries in my remote control airplane. It would be screaming!

From a chemical-electrical energy standpoint, this is a big leap in energy storage technology. Burning fuel in an internal combustion engine is horribly inefficient, wasting roughly 2/3 of the energy as exhaust heat and cooling system losses. For every gallon of gas you buy, 2/3 of that gallon literally gets wasted as useless low grade heat that does not propel your vehicle forward. Batteries are nice, but they just store energy, like fuel. A gallon of gas has the same amount of energy as all of the batteries in a chevy volt. The name of the game is energy density. The brass ring to grab for is to be able to store as much energy as it would take to move you the equivalent distance as a tank of gas, and do it more efficiently than just burning fuel. Fuel cells and batteries would work way better than gas, unless someone comes up with a fuel cell that uses hydrocarbons directly. If that were the case, then a 1000 miles on a tank of fuel for your Tahoe would be a piece of cake.
