Prototype Smartphone Battery Charges in Half a Minute
This new battery uses nanodots, which are bio-organic semiconductors made of peptides and have special electrochemical properties. By adding them to a battery they can increase both electrode capacity and electrolyte performance. Being organic and natural, they can also be produced very easily and cheaply. To demonstrate their capability, the researchers built a prototype battery for the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, and fully charged it in half a minute at a recent Microsoft conference. While the public may be especially interested in nanodots for their batteries, they can also be used to build sensors and displays with better color reproduction. Presently the prototype charger is about the size of that for a laptop, but the researchers are working to shrink it and bring it to market for late 2016.

Awesome, more battery technology that gets announced and then is never heard of again. I'm pretty sure we've had about 10 game changing new battery technologies in the last few years, yet here we are with it still getting worse and worse each year.

It's not getting worse, it's getting better, but you don't see the benefit of it because devices are getting more and more power hungry, so the crappy old battery that used to last 7 days in your bog standard phone seems better than the 3000mAh battery that only lasts a day in your smartphone
But put that same 3000mAh battery into your old bog standard phone and you wouldn't need to charge it for a month or more

That's pretty obvious tbh, I clearly didn't mean that they are literally thinking lets use an even older and worse battery technology that we used last year.
