If this isn’t just corporate hype, this could be great for making smaller batteries, hopefully less resource intensive.

    Oh another huge groundbreaking battery technology that will very soon change the world!!!

    Let me just log that with the 8436 times I’ve read that in the last 2 decades.

      Over the last two decades battery technology has increased DRASTICALLY. So the cynicism isnt entirely deserved.

        It has; but afaik it has been more through incremental improvements rather than huge technological leaps.

          Not exactly. Those technological leaps are spread throughout. It just looks like its entirely incremental even though its not really. It takes time to develop things and along the way the existing tech is refined.
