Tired of your cell phone battery dying after a few hours?
It is said that you soon can charge them in less than 30 seconds.
Researchers have developed new "superbatteries" which is 100 times faster than the ones we have today.
It's usually one day, then the batteries in todays smartphones are dead. And it's not a long time until the long charging times could be history. Researchers at the University of Illinois have for the first time succeded to create a new kind of electrode in a so called lithium-ion battery, says the swedish newssite Nyteknik.se. And the result is most effective to say the least. By using a tridimensional foam made out of lithium treated manganese oxide, with lower temperatures than normally, the moveability of the electrodes and ions increase.

Are you following? Relax. The reaserchers results pretty much means that you will be able to charge a phone in 30 seconds or charge a laptop in a couple of minutes. If or when the batteries will be commercialized is yet to be seen.
Seems pretty sweet if you ask me. No waiting times :)
