'It's very counterintuitive': The quantum batteries that upend the rules of charging
- 2 hours agoLaurie ClarkeCsiroA peek inside Csiro's dedicated quantum battery fabrication lab (Credit: Csiro)Scientists have made the world's first quantum battery prototype and, unlike conventional batteries, it charges faster the larger it gets.
- Could these bizarre devices one day power quantum computing – or even your phone?
- Everyone knows that the larger the battery, the longer it takes to charge – that's why it can take several hours to charge a laptop and typically all night to charge an electric vehicle.
