I distinctly remember reading about lithium-air last year and then the year before that.

All that research success yet no production samples.

ah, they even linked to the article I read in 2012:

Battery research news is on par with cancer cure and rapture day news these days.

Cancer treatments have advanced hugely, I'm told.

Also with graphene replacing silicon.

I appreciate this! Sometimes articles don't convey 'this is old technology...that researchers are still refining', instead they tend to be sensational. It's nice to know that this was an older research project (2012, not 2015). I'd rather read sober reporting than to be hyped up on the 'next big thing'. Your citation does this, which is why I appreciate it.
