March 9, 2010

Here's a new method that could potentially change the way we look at batteries - minuscule tubes coated with a chemical fuel which functions as a potential source with 100 times more electrical potential by weight than conventional batteries. Each moment these nano-scale "fuses" burn, they will drive an electrical current along their length at staggering speeds, resulting in a raft of energy applications. While it will take a fair bit of moment before such technology hits the mainstream, whether ever, it is still encouraging to know that citizens are looking into it as an alternative source of energy.
