Self-Assembling Batteries

Those guys over at MIT come up with some brilliant concepts and if this one pays off ill be truly thankfull. Yet-Ming Chiang from MIT has come up with a way to organize electrodes and electrolyte materials that, when combined, organize themselves into the structure of a working battery. This all in the space of 10 micrometers, and the Batteries themselves are assembled in such a way that they assemble themselves using ultraprecise atomic-force microscope probes. While that all sounds like something out of a science fiction show what it means is sometime down the track is the current solid batteries currently used could be non existant or atleast alot smaller and alot more powerfull.
