Chemistry student Mya Le Thai has accidentally developed a technology that could potentially allow a battery to hold eternal charges. Nanowire-based battery material that is able to be recharged unlimited times, brings us a step closer to a battery that would never need replacement.
Mya was playing around with various materials in the lab until she coated a set of gold nanowires with a very thin gel layer. By encasing the wires in this thin gel, the filaments of the capacitor retain their properties under hundreds of thousands of charges.
