Soon, Charge Your Phone In Seconds

You could soon charge your smartphones within seconds, thanks to scientists, including one of Indian origin, who have developed new flexible super-capacitors that can be recharged more than 30,000 times without degrading. After 18 months or so, smartphones hold charge for less and less time as the battery begins to degrade. Scientists from University of Central Florida (UCF) in the US developed a new process for creating the novel super-capacitors. The novel method could eventually revolutionize technology as varied as mobile phones and electric vehicles. If we were to replace the batteries with these super-capacitors, you could charge your mobile phone in a few seconds and you wouldn’t need to charge it again for over a week.
