StoreDot has developed a prototype phone charger than can charge your phone in half a minute. Game changer?
According to ZDNet:
The basis of StoreDot’s work was discovered during a University of Tel Aviv research project into Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers found that a certain peptide molecule that ‘shortens’ neurons in the brain causing Alzheimer’s was also seeming to show high capacitance, thanks to an ability called ‘charge trapping’ — where electrons are effectively held in place.
