Major technological breakthroughs. And people still continue to wonder why I put more faith in science than most other schools of thought, science continues to get new results that are more and more amazing, the rate of growth is speeding up, not slowing down. Thats a trend I dont see in almost any other school of thought. Here we demonstrate a scalable fabrication of graphene micro-supercapacitors over large areas by direct laser writing on graphite oxide films using a standard LightScribe DVD burner. More than 100 micro-supercapacitors can be produced on a single disc in 30min or less... These micro-supercapacitors demonstrate a power density of ~200Wcm−3, which is among the highest values achieved for any supercapacitor. Or, in simpler terms for those of you who dont keep up with these articles regularly and have no idea what any of the above means.. As the video above explains, Kaner and El-Kady had stumbled upon an energy storage medium with revolutionary potential. Imagine filling your smart phone with a long-lasting charge in just a couple seconds, or an electric car in a minute. Future applications, first described in a March 2012 issue of Science, looked very promising. io9/5987086/meet-the-scientific-accident-that-could-change-the-world
