A Li-ion battery is currently the smallest and lightest way to store as much rechargeable electrical energy as possible.
For folks who haven't experienced the wonders of PhysOrg, EurekAlert, ScienceDaily and BrightSurf, I thought I'd go through the bookmarks and post a few indicators of where we might be going. Here's some PhysOrg stuff on batteries:
Researchers build tiny batteries with viruses
Researcher discovers new materials
New battery technology announced
Brown engineers build a better battery -- with plastic
Next energy technologies may mimic nature
Mileage from megawatts: Study finds enough electric capacity to 'fill up' plug-in vehicles across much of the nation
New 'layered-layered' materials for rechargeable lithium batteries
Researchers move closer to switching nuclear isomer decay on and off
Crystal clues to better batteries
New Technology Aims to Lighten the Load for Soldiers
Engine on a chip promises to best the battery
Scientists Working Toward Better Batteries
