These batteries could last forever

This week researchers at MIT and Samsung have revealed a new approach to batteries, paving the way for “rechargeable batteries with almost indefinite lifetimes.” MIT suggests that the electrolyte is the key to this next-generation solution to longer-lasting batteries is in a solid electrolyte instead of liquid, liquid being the element used in most common rechargeable batteries today. This new solution could also make the next generation of batteries safer, too, reducing the chance of explosions and harmful chemical leaks.
