Looks like this could be the solution to both capacity and
charge/discharge cycle limitations. Could be the beginning of the end
of the lead acid battery :-).


They inadvertently omitted the mandatory nanotube statements "five to
ten years from commercial products" and "may lead to a cure for cancer
and diabetes."

"Cui said that a patent application has been filed. He is considering formation of a company or an agreement with a battery manufacturer. Manufacturing the nanowire batteries would require "one or two different steps, but the process can certainly be scaled up," he added. "It's a well understood process.""

and...

"Given the mature infrastructure behind silicon, this new technology can be pushed to real life quickly," Cui said.
