Your Phone's Battery Could Last Twice as Long With This New Lithium Ion Cell

The MIT company, SolidEnergy has made a huge advancement in energy storage technology with the development of a lithium-ion battery cell capable of holding the same amount of energy in half the size of its ion counterpart -- meaning your phone battery could double in life, and electric cars can go twice the distance on one charge. The new cell replaces carbon anodes with a thin lithium foil anode which helps reduce the battery's size dramatically. The new design also incorporates a solid electro...
