That would be a quantum leap....

Anybody heard of the 'Journal Advanced Energy Materials'?

Seems like it was only just started this year. An in-house publication from Wiley.

Shake that money-maker.

If it ever escapes from the lab, and if it doesn't involve cold fusion, yup.

Usually comes with buzz-word of the day - nanostructure. The "team of engineers" seem to be fiddling with the fine structure of the electrode surface. It might be interesting if they ever get to work out how to mass-produce such structure surfaces tolerably cheaply, always assuming that the structures can made to survive more than few charge-discharge cycles.
