      Yeah I think the Guardian has a weird angle on this. Still intetesting tech though.

        The news outlets do this with every experimental battery tech. Personally, I probably won’t even know when something effectively surpasses Li-ion for consumer applications until it actually hits the market, since I’ve been conditioned to ignore the headlines.

        They don’t care about facts too much. They mostly prioritize whatever will make people click on their articles.
