Eric Schmidt tweeted on Tuesday.
Goodno claims his new battery has three times the energy density of lithium today.
According to the former Google CEO, the ion battery is "promising" and he is now working at Alphabet, Google's parent company.
According to the conclusions published by Goodno and his research team, a new generation of more powerful batteries may be made entirely of glassK.

They store and transmit energy at temperatures below conventional lithium
Ion packs can be made using a global supply of sodium.
This study may lead to "safety, lowcost all-solid-
A state battery with a huge capacity provides a large energy density and a long cycle life that is compatible to power the full battery
Electric road vehicles or electricity used to store wind or solar energy, "the researchers wrote in their peers.

Energy storage is seen as a missing part of the world's transition to zerocarbon economy.
The battery can fill the power gap of intermittent solar and wind energy.
Companies including Tesla
Volkswagen has set its sights on lithium.
Ion will usher in a new generation of plug-insin vehicles.
Goodno and his team conducted the study, from the University of Texas in Austin and the University of Porto in Portugal, driven by the "urgent" need to reduce fossil fuel consumption and respond to climate change.
Researchers are working on several patents and seeking to work with battery manufacturers to "develop and test their new materials in electric vehicles and energy storage devices, according to a statement from the University of Texas.
According to 1970 profiles released by Quartz magazine, Goodenough began to focus on MIT's storage technology during the 2015 s period, which is a potential way to solve the ongoing oil crisis of this era.
He developed the key components of lithium today.
