HURRY!

Brilliant! Well done.

the post-oil world is happening, so excited!

What we need is a battery technology that delivers a power density of 2kWh/kg, zero to full recharge times of less than five minutes, and capacity loss of less than 1% after 10,000 cycles.

Misleading video. You are still using litium which burns when exposed to air and water.

If you want to save nearly all the energy in regenerative braking, then capacitors allow for that, as batteries cannot absorb energy or recharge fast enough. Capacitors are needed for that and to double the lifespan of regular batteries. You may not see them though as they can be integrated into the battery itself.

Faster and cheaper please! :) The world is burning, we need this now.

Magnetic propulsion is the future if all our energy needs when used in the correct manner wtfu movement

anyone know LGPS is?

30 years of searches and still nothing changed on the battery market... it s scary.

I don't believe the claims of solid state batteries because If solid state batteries have twice the energy density and 5 faster recharge time they would never need to be charged on an ebike that has regenerative braking because regen brakes already charges batteries up 25% each ride so x that by 5 and you've got 125% recharge each ride (an ebike that never needs to be charged at the wall).

Keep working hard please!

It's all about the flow of electrons. 👍

They seem to also have a pretty good text to speech program.

Cool. The lab rat sanding with a Cheshire Cat grin was funny.

Excellent work Japan. Now keep your research and development under strict guard so the Chinese cannot steal it.

Usually it takes 5 to 10 years before lab experiment becomes marketable product. That is, if no other competing invention is developed during that time. Behind every technologies we see today, there are thousands of lab projects that never saw a chance to become a product on the market. Flash memory technology, for example, was introduced in 1980s(at least to my knowledge), when the hard drive technology was still in its infancy and the capacities came in mega bites and there was no term "Flash memory" yet invented. It took digital imaging revolution for the flash memory to become household name by 2000. It's still developing today to the potential it was promised in 1980s. When it comes to battery technology, there are hundreds of competing experiments worldwide. It has a potential to become $trillion market, of course everyone wants to claim the winning technology. Only one will be named the winner.

Wasnt goodenoiugh first at this solid batteries? Well i guess it doesnt matter... but it seems that safer several times better batteries are coming in the few years

what is the purpose of the capacitor in use with li-ion batteries ?

Nice combover 😆😉

I welcome this technology any day! Please get this mass produce for the world!

Also would the efficiency of this tech become greater if created in zero G?

It'll be pretty cool when a electric aircraft accomplishes a transoceanic flight

Forget MIT, I wanna go to TIT! LOL

What? DId I hear that Lithium Ion battery must be combined with the capacitors when used in electric cars? I am dying of laughters.

Made in Master JAPAN the best in the world. Be careful JAPAN, criminal ccp's China come to steals and copies. China is a world biggest Thief of militarily and economically. China is a world biggest liar king. China is a world biggest COPY MACHINE. China is a world biggest piece of shits. Commie China talking shit day in day out without shame. Everything China made is FAKE and poo complete Rubbish. PRC Poo Rubbish China copies. China Cheap crap Horrible Inferior Nasty All complete Rubbish and Rags. Everything China made is FAKE.

nice

This is fantastic. It seems solid state is the way to go. Hopefully they will go into production much sooner than later.

3 -Dimensions...Ah.Yes...

hate to say it but heard of graphene? just gonna leave you with that :D

maybe someday but I have not seem any yet, or their costs.

how can we speak about batteries new and old without including range cost specific density cost harm to enviroment top speeds total weight as a unit the size of a medium watermellon lets say or how about its main ingredients and ease of access and processing with same-- Boy 30 years and hes going to work everyday and this is what we got to show 4 it- Gotta love acadamia

That's great, but when will we see it in everyday use?

Oh my! What's the weight characteristics of the solid state electrolyte?

This is so advanced! I can't wait to see the fruits of their research! This will change the destiny of mankind!

Scientists around the world have been trying to perfect solid-state batteries for around sixty years now. Three cheers for the scientist at the Tokyo Institute of Technology for their hard work and amazing accomplishment. If this discovery/invention works out, it should revolutionize the battery industry. We certainly live in exciting times.

....

Very excited, hopefully this or something like it will be in our pockets, vehicle's and buildings soon.

I don't understand anything

Really Li-ion batteries need capacitors to run in electric vehicles???? I think that is a false statement..

The Japanese are really smart, highest ion conductor performance in the world. It will be interesting to see when these batteries make it into the market, still a few more years probably. But some small examples are already out today as this occurred back in 2011.

Li-Ion batteries "have to" be combined with a supercap? Really?

Keep at it Japan!

Go Go Go! Im excited.

This is a very impressive development.

That's great, but Mike Zimmerman from Tufts University beat them to it with a solid polymer electrolyte that allows even higher energy density and better temperature ranges.

& thats why research into alternatives is worth funding. Now Japan has the patents.. Thanks Darpa - it was close..

Great!!!!

Something we need today, not 10 to 20 years from now.

But i want it now
