Scientists have created a cell phone charger that can recharge in 10 seconds instead of several hours. This battery can be used with laptops, iPods, and digital cameras s well.
A group of engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology created this based on conventional lithium ion rechargeable batteries and altering the surface of an conventional electrode. Thus making the ions release absorb 100 times faster than normal. Using these new materials will keep the battery from having to be repeatedly charged and recharged, which could lead to faster batteries lasting between two or three years.
This new technology could also lead the way for electric cars. With a bigger battery, it could take up to five minutes rather than eight hours to charge a car. People would be able to ride their cars long distances and then stop to a service station an charge up their battery in just a few minutes.
I think this a great invention. We live in world where everything is fast paced. Waiting is a thing of the past so this creation will definitely be well appreciated for most people.

Some times you just can't wait. Faster is better for the person always on the go.
ReplyDeleteCool! This will be something I will use.
ReplyDeleteI currently have to charge my cell phone every day. New batteries only last a few months.
