Nanowire battery stores power 10 times the charge of existing power packs. Stanford researchers have revealed a way to use silicon nano-wires to reinvent the rechargeable Li-ion power packs. Most of us can't do without gadgets like Notebooks, digicams, cell phones and other similar devices including ipods use Li-ion batteries. This scrupulous technology to store charge has been around for too long with no greater development over the years. The novel version of Li-ion batteries invented through research led by Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, produces Ten times the amount of electricity backup compared to the existing lithium-ion, known as Li-ion, batteries. A notebook that now sprints on battery for 2 hours could operate for 20 hours, a bonus to ocean-hopping business flyers.
