This story, from researchers at Rice University and Lockheed Martin.
Their goal is to increase our ability to store lithium ions in anode material for batteries, by using porous silicon instead of the more usual graphite substrate.
Lithium, the lightest metallic element, has a tremendous potential as a battery component because of its unique physical and chemical properties.
The researchers claim that their new technology stores ten times more lithium ions in the anode as current batteries.
