Will Supercapacitors Come to AI's Rescue?

Cars That Think

electricity provider National Grid faces a problem every time there is a soccer match on (or any other widely viewed televised event for that matter): During half-time, or a commercial break, an inordinate number of viewers go to turn on their tea kettles. These and other such products can help smooth out load fluctuations on the grid.

EnerG2 nano-structured hard carbon boosts Li-ion anode capacity by >50% compared to standard graphite

Green Car Congress

These properties can be tailored and modified for adaptation to the specific requirements of a given energy storage application. The [nano-structured hard] carbon is able to store more than standard graphite (which is what the 50% is based on) because it has a disorganized amorphous structure. Aaron Feaver.
