It seems that instead of replacing batteries nanotubes could be used to increase their capacity by ten fold. Read here.
Now we can have the best of both worlds. Nanotube batteries with all their inherent advantages such as long term storage and versatile storage requirements, the standard batteries with larger capacities or hybrids with both built in.
Like I said before these nanotubes are going to change the world. Nothing else on this planet, excluding human ingenuity, seems as versatile.
So we’ll soon see the Nano state?
Not if our politicians have their way.
