The miracle of ten seconds to full charge is an obvious benefit, but how about rapid discharge? Electric and hybrid cars could use the surge of power when rapid acceleration is needed. Ars Technica has the break down of the science behind this possible breakthrough here. [also: BBC via Engadget]]]>
