What if a battery lasted forever? Could it power a car? Could it power your home? Could it power change? At the University of California, Irvine, we’re counting on it. UCI chemistry student Mya Le Thai has developed a technology that could potentially help a battery hold unlimited charges. While experimenting in the lab, she made a remarkable discovery that will have a huge impact on future energy consumption. By coating the gold nanowires in a thin gel, the filaments of the capacitor retain their properties under hundreds of thousands of charges. Call it a hunch. Call it a happy accident. We call it the Power of I. When you’re given the opportunity to explore and follow your convictions, when dedication and inspiration cross paths, amazing things will happen. More at:
