Graphene battery tech: charge your smartphone in 20 seconds

"When you make a discovery...you’ve got to be patient’ stated Dr Neil Alford, of Imperial College London, in a recent interview with Channel 4 News. ‘Generally from invention to commercialisation takes anywhere between ten, fifteen, twenty years. In this case I think that there are a number of aspects to graphene that make it amenable to rather earlier commercialisation. I think the flat-screen displays for example, we might see some aspects of that moving in rather sooner, maybe the THREE to FIVE year timeframe.’

While you might not be rolling up your Samsung Galaxy S6 or charging an iPhone 7 in under five minutes, the models that follow soon after them may well offer these features as standard.

Just as the idea of rewinding a film after you’ve watched it seems alien and archaic to a generation raised on DVRs and DVDs, overnight battery charging or cracked screens could well become another curiosity in the museums of the tomorrow.


BTW:
Hope I am here to see this great Innovation take place.
