We all know that mobile computing’s biggest challenge is battery-life. And while it is fundamental, progress have been mostly sluggish by the past few years. that may change thanks to the Argone National Laboratory’s research.

the total capacity by about 30%.

And that’s not science fiction: Toda Kogyo, a Japanese company, plans to manufacture 30 Million of such batteries in the short-term. Now, it depends what they mean by “short term”
