In March,Professor Gerbrand Ceder,of the Massachusetts institute of technology [MIT],unveiled a battery capable of charging a hundred times faster than ordinary batteries. His cathode comes with tiny balls of lithium iron phosphate, called nanoballs because each measures just 50 nanometres [one billionth of a metre across].The nanoballs release the lithium-irons much more rapidly,making the charge faster.
This means,potentially that a plug-in hybrid car could charge in "five" minutes,and a mobile phone in "ten" seconds
