By using nano-technology to synthesize artificial molecules, StoreDot, Tel Aviv-based company claims to have developed a battery that can store charge much higher with faster, basically similar to super dense sponge to absorb power and maintain it.
The company has demonstrated a prototype cell phone battery that is ready to be launched in 2016, and now has increased funding of US $117 million to develop a version for cars.
"This is a new material, never developed before," said Doron Myersdorf, founder and CEO of StoreDot, as quoted by the Daily Mail recently.
