Mighty Microbattery Delivers Lightning-Fast Charge
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a super-dense battery that measures only a few millimeters, but can both store and release a lot of power, resolving a problem that has long plagued consumers and electronics manufacturers. Capacitors can release power very quickly but can't store much. Fuel cells and batteries can store power but release it slowly.
