Via KurzweilAI.net –Increasing power storage efficiency is a very necessary element to upping the personal electronics ante. We truly are starting to get up against various roadblocks with different areas of tech, be it battery life, processing speed, memory or something else. I always enjoy reading and blogging about nanotechnology pushing the consumer electronics envelope.
Intel lab explores nanoscale power storage EE Times, Feb. 17, 2010 Intel researchers are exploring nanoscale materials that could be used to create ultracapacitors with a greater energy density than today’s lithium ion batteries.
If successful, the new materials could be mass-produced to power systems for applications including mobile devices,energy sensing, interconnects for plug-in electric vehicles, and smart grid storage units.
