The demand for better rechargeable-battery technology

In Archive by Fredy Ore

An interesting article in Technology Review on the new demanding necessities of portable power, particularly as we embark on a world of wireless devices and portable technology.
With our society largely becoming more populated by Laptop and portable computers, their faster speeds and powerful processors, brighter displays are demanding more and more electrical power.
