Scientists in North Korea might just have invented the greatest invention since the electric car! It is the new Graphene Supercapacitor! Just one gram of this newly refined product has the equivalent surface area to a basketball! Unlike the current lithium-ion batteries commonly used by car companies in their electric vehicles these new graphing super capacitor batteries are capable of charging as little as 16 seconds! A rate that would make typical lithium ion batteries a thing of the past. With a growing market for electric cars a discovery like this not only means that the world will have more efficient electric cars, but it opens pandoras box to a world of wannabe inventors and as such we are likely only a few short years from seeing this technology being integrated into electric cars and maybe even aircraft in the future. So what does this mean for us? We might just have found our way to a completely fossil fuel-free future.
