Before people jump in here to talk about how battery technology never comes to market... Every single one of these discoveries teaches us something new, sometimes it reveals tech that's unsustainable, sometimes it's un-manufacturable, but it always gives us another direction to look for things.
Tech goes relatively slowly from lab results to store shelves, so stuff you read about 10-20 years ago are what are in your devices today. This could very easily be the way that your phone runs in 2035.
This could be as game changing as lithium ion was back in the early 2000's, or it could go the way of most lab results. We won't know until we keep poking at it and figuring out what it is useful for.
Which sustainability and manufacturability are going through their own development. So what was once unsustainable or un-manufacturable, suddenly become one or both with no additional progress in that area.
All in all I love that battery tech is getting the attention it is.
I'm looking forward to what this means for !micromobility@lemmy.world
