"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."

This would definitely be good for electric cars -- take the Nissan Leaf for example with it's 80 mile range -- halve the battery and go 400 miles, maybe more because of the weight savings. It would take out of the realm of being an expensive extra car, into being a real contender for one's primary or sole car.
