Researchers Develop Super Batteries From Aerogel

greenerd writes "Researchers from the University of Central Florida may have found the most efficient (and most bizarre) battery material yet – 'frozen smoke', also known as Aerogel. One of the world's lightest solids, aerogel contains multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) which each one several thousands thinner than human hair. The researchers, Associate Professor Lei Zhai and Postdoctoral Associate Jianhua Zou, believe that this material could soon become the best energy storage material for capacitors and batteries."

    Tell you what. I will buy you one, if you promise to stop using "never mind" as one word. Or, you can promise to always use the new word "alwaypayattentionto" as its antonym. But I think the first choice is better.
