Changing Batteries
The battery has not changed since the 1960s and it is really a technological feat that RadioShack took so long to go out of business. We have such impressive technologies and software development in the 21st century and yet we still use lithium ion batteries. This thought might all change soon. Researchers at Stanford published their discovery of aluminum ion batteries in Nature recently. They said that the new aluminum-ion battery has the potential to replace lithium-ion batteries, used in millions of laptops and mobile phones. The new battery is safe and does not have the fire hazard of lithium batteries. It is also durable and flexible, and lasts seven times as long as the other ones. The best part might be that it can be charged in under a minute. This will open doors with so many other gadgets and devices. It also means that the larger batteries could be used as part of a renewable energy system on an electrical grid. It is going to be really exciting to see where it will go from here.
