Looks like recharge time of batteries could be reduced to seconds according to reports from researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Not only would the battery recharge in seconds, it would also never need to be replaced.
Looks like the solution is in the use of a capacitor which is rather old technology, 300 years old to be exact. Joel Schindall and his team at M.I.T. decided to combine a capacitor and nanotechnology to make that old product in a new way.
According to Schindall, “”The new energy cell could be recharged many, many times perhaps hundreds of thousands of times, and … it could be recharged very quickly, just in a matter of seconds rather than a matter of hours.”
