Quantum Batteries Could Become A Reality With Superabsorption

University of Adelaide researchers believe they’ve figured out superabsorption, which could lead to quantum batteries for vehicles. Currently, most electric vehicles are powered by lithium-ion battery cells, such is the case with companies like Zero, and GASGAS. However, battery technology might literally take a quantum leap forward once scientists crack the code. The new discovery is a key step in the charging speed of this next-generation technology.  Dr. James Q. Quach, a Ramsay Fellow in the School of Physical Sciences, and the Institute for Photonics and Advanced Sensing (IPAS) at the University of Adelaide, summed it up: “Quantum batteries, which use quantum mechanical principles to enhance their capabilities, require less charging time the bigger they get.” “It is theoretically possible that the charging power of quantum batteries increases faster than the size of…
