A breakthrough in components for next-generation batteries could come from special materials that transform their structure to perform better over time.
The team's theorist, Handan Yildirim, showed that formation of highly ordered structure is actually spontaneous if the conditions for cycling are right. This simulation shows the evolution of a long-range order, as revealed by the formation of regularly ordered layers of oxygen (red circles). These well-defined layers of oxygen are separated by layers of mixed metal (Ti, blue, and Li, green) atoms that are randomly distributed.

todays dual core phones are crap. why? all they did was connecting 2 cores (wich uses a lot of battery). some quad core phones will have fifth core for operations that wont need a lot of Hzs. so they will be using very small amount of energy ;) start saving money.... I am :D

Nice. I didn't expect to see a huge difference with the slide changes, but a very good formation. Great research =]

I had a Galaxy S 2 for a weekend but I returned it because of poor battery (and weak GPS, and crap music player.) It had a LOT of awesome features my iPhone doesn't have, and that I really loved a lot, but losing 19% battery power with one hour of light use and four hours of sleep mode in my pocket while I work is unacceptable. This battery would definitely change that in a huge hurry. They need to hurry fast and get this into the commercial market, so the GS3 can use it. I would be all over it.
