A 19x Energy Jump in Capacitors

It opens the door to a new era of electric efficiency. Maybe...

Bae makes the change—one he unearthed while working on something completely different—by sandwiching 2D and 3D materials in atomically thin layers, using chemical and nonchemical bonds between each layer. He says a thin 3D core inserts between two outer 2D layers to produce a stack that’s only 30 nanometers thick, about 1/10th that of an average virus particle… More here.

We have seen many stories of huge advances in battery technology and this could just yet another one that does not make a difference. Then again, just maybe it will change the world…
