Scientists create most powerful non-nuclear battery ever
Scientists create most powerful non-nuclear battery ever




The chemical xenon difluoride is normally a mild-mannered white powder, but when you crush it with the pressure of 1 million times our atmosphere, it turns into a super substance. Due to some weird science, all the energy used to crush that stuff is stored inside its chemical bonds, making it a terrific energy storage device. In layman's terms, that would be a battery.

Of course, it's not going to be easy to apply 1,000,000 atmospheres worth of pressure to this caustic and stinky powder that's normally used to etch circuits on silicon. To withstand that kind of pressure, you need a tiny 2-by-3-inch compartment lined with a couple of diamond anvils.
The result? A little metallic-looking brick that amounts to the most powerful non-nuclear energy storage device ever created. Now let's hope those scientists unleash that vast amount of energy for peaceful purposes, making this the most kick-ass battery in the world. Or will they just turn it into a bomb?

Either way, the scientists at Washington State's chemistry labs behind this discovery have a long way to go before this tech has a commercial application.

Diamond Anvils.

Fascinating.

Probably also a killer name for a hairband...

Once this technology reaches the female sex-toy market we're all doomed.

Yes but we already have batteries that last longer than 30 seconds. Men are replaceable already.

They ran out of sex toys to shoot into the well head now.

Sounds like maybe you step on it with a million atmospheres of pressure.
