Yet another yet another new battery breakthrough

" The new version, developed through research led by Yi Cui, assistant
professor of materials science and engineering, produces 10 times the
amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion, known as Li-ion,
batteries. A laptop that now runs on battery for two hours could operate
for 20 hours, a boon to ocean-hopping business travelers.
"It's not a small improvement," Cui said. "It's a revolutionary
development."
The breakthrough is described in a paper, "High-performance lithium
battery anodes using silicon nanowires," published online Dec. 16 in
Nature Nanotechnology, written by Cui, his graduate chemistry student
Candace Chan and five others.

The greatly expanded storage capacity could make Li-ion batteries
attractive to electric car manufacturers. Cui suggested that they could
also be used in homes or offices to store electricity generated by
rooftop solar panels.

"Given the mature infrastructure behind silicon, this new technology can
be pushed to real life quickly," Cui said. "

Hey Dirk,
This thread snuck by me until now, I hope it turns out to be
an important improvement. Thanks for the post.
Mike, looking forward to an electric car charged with
energy from a nuclear power plant.
