Except that these are flat. Guess that's why they "remind" me of them:)
Isn't it amazing what the mind of man can do? We, especially Americans, are so good at finding solutions for problems. When we are given the freedom to create and invent.
There are examples to this, of course. The main example being Obama who could never invent or create a damn thing.

"Graphene is strong, chemically stable, an excellent conductor of electricity and, importantly, has an extremely high surface area. " An extremely high surface area. WTH does that mean?

Seems like every year or so, we hear about “break through battery technology” to “far surpass lithium,” but nothing every comes from it.
Hope this one is different.

If there’s money to be made, it will. Count on it. If this technology is as good as they say, a 10 minute ‘fill-up’ on your electric car might be a reality soon................
