If this isn’t just corporate hype, this could be great for making smaller batteries, hopefully less resource intensive.

This will be a great pair to my quantum graphene notebook!

We’ll do fine with 250-300 mile range if charging infrastructure is improved. Use further battery breakthroughs for reducing weight, not increasing range.

Though the possibility of fully electric airplanes is exciting.

Increased capacity is reduced weight since now you need less battery for came range. Although I doubt these claims. Improvements in technology are usually marginal, not 5x or more.

Oh another huge groundbreaking battery technology that will very soon change the world!!!

Let me just log that with the 8436 times I’ve read that in the last 2 decades.

Some of those were dangerous as hell and we won’t see them in consumer use ever, unless somebody wants a very expensive frag grenade.

If I had a nickel for every groundbreaking battery technology discovered, I could make my own groundbreaking discovery! Just trust me this time

You’d certainly have an adequate supply of nickel for the required metallurgy…

Over the last two decades battery technology has increased DRASTICALLY. So the cynicism isnt entirely deserved.

I know battery tech is progressing and lithium ion is way advanced, but every month I see a bait article claiming they are revolutionizing the tech and this new technology will DOUBLE or TRIPLE the liion battery… Especially the solid state battery articles. It’s always bait

It takes time to develop things. And solid state batteries like this really are promising.

It has; but afaik it has been more through incremental improvements rather than huge technological leaps.

Not exactly. Those technological leaps are spread throughout. It just looks like its entirely incremental even though its not really. It takes time to develop things and along the way the existing tech is refined.
