Especially since this discovery is in a completely different league from the usual 'breakthroughs'. Cracking how to stop nanowires from cracking is huge for a number of fields, one of which is batteries. It is also a lot more fundamental than usual.

And of course there is a long and uncertain road between gold nanowires in a lab and mass-produced batteries, but still, just knowing a 200k cycling battery with no degradation is even possible is valuable. I'd love there to be some NASA rovers with undying tech.

Gold is already used in plenty of electronics, though.

And~ people spill coffee on their fancy gaming computer all the time.

So even if optimally stored is 200 000 times more charges, I'm sure plenty of consumers will frick with things.

Actually no we’d have solved shit because at every turn it’s “well this will never work let’s give up immediately! We have no more willpower or brainpower to wonder or think of experiment”

Which says a LOT about them and their mindsets. Some people don’t get the same education as others and it’s really sad to see.

These all add up to "we won't hear about it again". Which more or less seems to be the case nearly all of the time with these battery announcements.

No, you won't hear about it. You don't sound like the kind of person to seek information out or to keep up with further developments. It goes against a cynical philosophy, after all.

And they still aren't the be all for screens. Also, they were going on about OLEDs in the 90s even.

Same man i have the first Samsung galaxy seem space for me at the time, payed whit a parts of my liver ---> 10 years later another smartphone payed 100 euro more features that the original galaxy, more faster more battery, better response time, fingerprints OLED display ecc ecc payed 1/7 of the original galaxy.

I mean the tecnology move maybe slow but it move I'm really excited to see what we can have in 10/20/30/40/50 years maybe 60 if I'm luck.

P.s: I'm checking the graphic cards right now I see for the same price I have buy the 970 long time ago I can now buy 3090 -.-, this is the tecnology tech need to make thing more easy to reproduce and inexpensive, only in this way we can progress.

Yeah but until they make channel bugs illegal I won't buy one! Burn-in sucks!

Yeah sometimes I leave it on the news channels or CNBC for hours but every channel has them!

If you changed the TV channel and don't know what channel you changed it to you can always hit the info button or channel guide!

I just see no use for them! The networks can all put identifier info hidden in the picture that is not always in the corner and always on top!

Even the news scroll or stock scroll can cause burn in! The early OLED sets were really bad and even though the new sets have better burn in tech you can still get it! Even in certain games! I have seen shots of it even in this group!

I got a cheap used oled on Craigslist and accidentally left a game paused on a bright screen for half an hour. Burnt in yay

It'd sink an entire market.

It wont survive for the same reason that cures don't see the light of day because treatments are more profitable.

But there's an entire new cure for hepatitis which didn't exist before, and there's also the cure for many bacterial diseases like penicillin or streptomycin. And many preventative ones, like the polio vaccine.

...... Wow, you're basically exhibit A of an armchair scientist Redditor. Someone who doesn't know anything, doesn't track the current zietgeist, and speaks as if he's been studying this for decades.

The only benefit to your argument is that it's impossible for me by design to point at cures that have been suppressed out of profit motive.

That's right. Because your statement is stupid.

Nope. You are entirely too credulous.

Just because you're cynical doesn't mean you're correct. Come on. Find a cure that's been suppressed

Man that's a brave thing to say on reddit. This site gets kind of exhausting sometimes because how many people seem to think that way.

Modern cell phones last all day while running 1gbps modems and using neural network hardware for voice recognition and refreshing screens at 120hz, and more, while getting thinner. This is entirely due to battery tech advances.

There’s far more financial incentive to advance things
