    [News] Samsung develops 5x faster charging battery

    http://hexus.net/ce/news/general/112...rging-battery/

    There have been numerous research projects looking to improve battery technology in recent years. Lithium-ion batteries were provided a big step up in size/power and were first commercialised in 1991. They are essential components in our smart devices, laptops, and solar / automotive products. However, some consider Li-ion tech to be approaching or to have reached its limits. With many people still dissatisfied with their smartphone / automobile battery stamina something must be done.

    Today Samsung published news of a new battery it has developed using 'graphene ball' technology. Researchers at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), working closely with Samsung SDI, as well as a team from Seoul National University?s School of Chemical and Biological Engineering have made a "breakthrough" in battery tech, says Samsung.

    Give me a NiMH brick for my phone and I'll be happy.
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Rule 3:
    When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    Random Tip o' the Whatever
    You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.

    All this vaporware we've seen in the past 10 years or so... so much promise about "nano technology" revolutionizing Lithium Ion Batteries, yet we don't see it released in the masses with all the pro's and claimed with no con's.. release it already if it's so friggin good!

    I recall reading countless articles about how nano technology combined with Lithium Ion would produce a vastly superior battery that would be impervious to fires/explosions, greatly increase battery capacity, and faster recharging time without battery degradation/consequences. C'mon.. release it already!
