@bielsubob if this development can make it happen in production that could be a big game changer towards a truly sustainable energy system.

@thomas_klopf @bielsubob ..or charge time

@Doomstrike @thomas_klopf @bielsubob We need different tech for different applications, so why are these relevant?

[ligfries@mastodon.green]

@Doomstrike @thomas_klopf @bielsubob most likely best suited for stationary storage of electricity, to cope with fluctuations in solar and wind. Not for mobility or wearables.

@bielsubob

Cool! Good to hear some good news! Hope it lives up to this promising progress.

[gimulnautti@mastodon.green]

@thomas_klopf @sandorspruit @Doomstrike @bielsubob I think the article implies grid storage as the application.

@bielsubob

There is hope yet!

If this is true it could be game changer for solar powered energy ! It is exciting !

Remember when America used to make announcements like this?

Then Koch Network funded antiscience malign influence to discredit climate science

@thomas_klopf @bielsubob and the article has a flavor of LLM...

And not even a link to the research paper!

[hydreprever@mathstodon.xyz]

@thomas_klopf @bielsubob it seems to be a summary of a paper in the South China Morning Post, which is in no way better...

[hydreprever@mathstodon.xyz]

@thomas_klopf @bielsubob
I was finally able to find the paper... I'm unable to tell whether the hype is justified or not. As long as it stays in journals like Interesting Engineering and the South China Morning Post, I'll stay skeptical.

@bielsubob huge, if true (and not exaggerated headline)

I've been waiting for years Panasonic to go with something break through. As they announced years ago. And still waiting
Seems like the Chinese beating them once more.
Anyway, good news!
