I am reading the same 'new tech hype' articles again and again. Very prominent on battery tech. These articles create unjustified hype by focussing on a few promising test results under lab conditions with prototypes. What they fail to mention are all other factors that contribute to a succesful new technology. Like just as examples, scalability, robustness, promise of ease of mass production, raw compound price, safety as good or better then proven tech, compatibility with the market standard.

There were literally hundreds of exactly those articles I read or skimmed through in the past, none of them made it to mass market. It's almost as if there might be an underlying scam that produces these research hypes to grab investor money or something. Until the real problems are adressed, or looked at and then the research ceases.

I mean I really hope there are some leaps in battery technology soon, as many do, because it does not hold up at all to moore's law as it is kind of needed for mobile devices to progress as fast as silicon or other advancements. I just don't care for misleading articles anymore :)

This battery addresses those things:

I sincerely hope this one is finally not a semi-hoax and delivers. I won't get my hopes up so soon though.

On a side note, I don't want to argue over this, but just saying I found two points (compound prices, safety) addressed. It reads kinda like a lot of hype... What do you take from the articles, how this reasearch project is more promising or further down the road then the many promising looking projects before them that ended up failing? You don't see a pattern? This one is now different, how?

They're at the commercialisation stage now. They'll be selling them next year.
