"Researchers at Stanford University have taken inspiration from the pomegranate to design a supercharged anode battery. Working in collaboration with the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the team used the pomegranate's unique seed design to make a battery that can store 10 times more charge than a standard rechargeable lithium-ion battery."

    Can't wait for some of these battery advancements to materialize in commerce. Many technologies are waiting on better batteries. ...Although you have to take the TALOS [wikipedia.org], long-range drones [wired.com], and Internet of Things [wired.com] with your battery advancements.
