New battery press releases are like the "win a free iPad" ads of the tech world.
It seems like every single research institution in the past 10 years has announced some battery breakthrough, via metamaterials, carbon nano-tubes, super-capacitors, etc.
I've yet to see much follow through. It's getting tiresome to read about.

Thank you. Every six months some school or company has some miraculous super-battery that somehow never goes anywhere. I'm not reading any more of these stories until they include the words "Consumer Electronics Show."
