I find it quite annoying that the original papers are not mentioned anywhere in the article. How difficult can it be to include a link/reference/doi to the source? I understand that for many people these scientific articles are too much, and unfortunately most of the times the scientific sources are still behind pay walls, but it is very important if one wants to verify the claims made in the news article.

I believe the following articles are the ones on which this story is based: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2014.06.016 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2014.10.018 (behind a pay-wall unfortunately)

Here's a free link to the pdf:

Agreed. Fortunately there's a media contact details at the end of the article. I'm sure they'd like that feedback as well. Did you email them in addition to posting this comment on HN? :) I just did, expressing similar sentiments.

Wouldn't it be great if you could just annotate that article and include the link? It seems you can now that hypothes.is has launched[1].
