Yariv, a friend in San Francisco, clued me in on a breakthrough in magnetic materials that is sure to get quite a bit of attention in coming months. Apparently, physicists have developed a type of battery that generates electricity and potentially stores information without heat expenditure. Size-relative to conventional chemical batteries, these nano-based magnetic batteries produce hundreds of times more power and can be fully recharged in seconds. The implications for items such as cell-phones, hard-drives and cars are staggering.
