[H] Batteries to get boost from nanotechnology

2006-04-01 Thread G.Waleed Kavalec
Mobile devices in the future may get extra battery power thanks to nanotechnology. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have come up with a way of storing extra charge in 'ultracapacitors'. The team led by Riccardo Signorelli, Joel Schindall and John Kassakian have dev

HDTV was 1st talked about in 1988 or so, took until 10+ years later to become available at insane prices. The only reason you have HDTV broadcasts: US government mandates. About the same time I remember hearing about Electric cars with the issue being if the battery cooled, it solidified and w
