The battery breakthrough may mean that the phone is twice as long as it is today and has been tested on the iPhone.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's spin-off company, SolidEnergy, shows a rechargeable battery that provides half the power of an iPhone battery.
This breakthrough means that the phone will soon be able to provide double battery life with the same thickness.
The batteries will appear on drones for the first time in November and then on smartphones and wearables in 2017.
Qichao Hu, CEO of SolidEnergy, told MIT News: "This is the holy grail of batteries. ‘With two-
We can make half the size of the battery, but it still lasts the same amount of time, just like a lithium ion battery.
Or we can make a battery the same size as a lithium-ion battery, but now it has twice the life of a lithium-ion battery.
The new battery is interchanged with the common graphite cathode used in Li-
Very thin ion battery of lithium metal foil.
During the test, SolidEnergy showed that the new battery was half the size of the iPhone 6 and provided 2.
