Stanford researchers have figured out a way to incorporate silicon nanowires into rechargeable lithium ion batteries and extend their life from 4 to 40 hours. The work, described in a paper in Nature Nanotechnology, could lead to iPods, laptops and camcorders that could be run nearly for an entire weekend without requiring a re-charge. Of course, this is still in the lab stage, and there are undoubtedly quite a few steps and hurdles between the campus and commercialization, but we're optimists. So, here's to the end of the ABC (Always Be Charging) Rule of electronics.—Gregory Mone

How the energy density compare with fossil fuels? There was some talk about running a laptop on a fuel cell instead of a battery.

Had been thinking about Lindsey's new vibram fivefingers ever since she posted about them on this blog. When she first sent me a photo of these bizarre looking vibram five,I just laughed at their vibram fivefingers ridiculousness, thinking 'no way I'll ever put those things on my five finger feet! But alas, once I saw them and read about them, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I had to try them for myself. Last week I went to Blue five fingers Ridge Mountain Sports in Charlottesville,

this battery will be helphul initially but I am sorry to say, that is technology if it does work will never be seen by the public for real use. The oil companies and auto industry will buy and then shelf the technology. They have done this many time before, Closed Tucker, bought any patent or a process for a the very high mileage carburetors, dis-mantled the last electric car program that was working. The corruption goes to high into the government to allow this to happen

For my understanding, MacBook Air is gear towards people who has another computer already. You can use your other Mac or Pc's optical drive via Air wirelessly. Everything about the Air is wireless..

some of the really informed people above really nail all of the technical issues at hand in this situation. Apple is not the winner by any means.

Well this battery works from 4 to 40 hours..It would be amazing if they could turn this technology into a world change...not just being able to run my laptop without plugging it in....

My laptop battery lasts only for almost 4 hours. I have sometimes thought of having an extra battery with me, but it is not practical. :(

That could be MBT Shoes fantastics if they can increase the time of battery. It also save cost and make environment green.
