Stanford researchers have announced that they are working on an improvement to the Li-Ion batteries, that would increase the time they operate by 10 times. If your current battery works for 2 hours, then with this improvement it would last for 20.
Instead of the standard carbon , these new batteries use anodes and Li-Ion batteries with silicon nanowire. By using nanotechnology, they managed to circumvent the usual problems that a silicon based battery has.

Look at the pic on the left. See the text from the notepad and its version from the gizmo above it? That’s the Mobile Notetaker, transcribing every pen movement into digital information.
Whatever you write on that paper, it gets saved in the Notetaker, both text and drawings. You can save that information to your computer and convert it to text using the included OCR software.
It works by attaching the Notetaker to any piece of paper that you want to write on, either an envelope, a piece of a paper bag or anything else made of paper really. It can be a pretty cool companion, if you have lots of ideas that you need to write down. Either for reporters, students, or anyone that needs to use a pen, it’s perfect.
