The future of battery technology?

Interesting but given the performance figures they quote.. dunno, seems like there is high potential for an investor scam? One of those fake companies based on a real bit of research that can't be applied like they claim?

Googling I see a familiar pattern of likely paid sites. Have to see what the University of Bristol say, if real incredible, if the Cabot institute has been usurped not so much. I'll ask a friend who is an actual quantum physicist. See what he thinks.

But this is encouraging.

The potential is mind boggling for sure and one of the most significant change to human development. If this comes to be, it will be enormously disruptive to some of the world's biggest companies, from oil, gas and coal but also to mining and processing, and the alternative energy sector including EV development. And it would be an enormous opportunity for the nuclear energy sector with its waste and the diamond producing sector.
Of course one may wonder how safety would be managed between idiots trying to demonstrate that diamonds aren't unbreakable, terrorists mining batteries or simply how to dispose of outdated products with live batteries...
 
Well my physicist friend said that certainly its a real thing just the current would be so tiny from each crystal that scaling the batteries so a diamond AA would output like an AA in the same volume appears highly fanciful.

I doubt we'll see this getting mass-produced anytime soon, unfortunately.

I'm not sure about the "unfortunately" part, at least until I'm comfortably retired on Tesla returns! :cool: But this certainly has the potential to end human created atmospheric pollution while providing energy to the most remote parts of the world. Mind boggling, really.
