    I’ll believe it when it ships. I’m genuinely optimistic that we can develop better batteries, but I’ve seen this story too many times before.

      Once a week for the last 10 years a breakthrough is announced and twice on a full moon.

      Every “breakthrough” makes batteries a percentage point better though.

      Same here. I’m not clicking on the article. I’ll celebrate when a retail product comes out with said battery.

      Battery news is pretty world changing so I understand whybit gets the same kind of attention miracle health advancements get. Unfortunately the hardest part remains making a commercially viable product but that said even finding new techniques that may not make it to market still advance the field further and expand our understanding.
