I’m going to start haggling with the cashiers.

Its got electrolytes! It’s what plants crave!

The photo choice is a big one that always bothers me with these articles.

multiply this (Current x Time)/(Weight) value by the nominal voltage of the cell to get to (Power x Time)/(Weight).

This is the part that annoys me. The nominal voltage could vary between different batteries. 200Ah/g means different capacity for a 6v battery verses a 48v battery. I’m guessing battery scientists are using standardized nominal voltages for these tests or are seeing the same Ah/g capacity at different voltages (that I may have simply missed in the paper because I skimmed it and I don’t claim any deeper knowledge on battery research)

the strategy of retaining crystal interlayer water yielded a specific capacity of 280 mA h g−1 at 10 mA g−1, one of the highest capacities reported for SIB cathodes in literature.

All I could find. This isn’t a statement about capacity(?) Units are wrong(?)

Its worth noting how preliminary this research is. Currently these “batteries” are just jars with chemicals.

They mostly these articles are showing new avenues for research. Most are deadends usually due to issues with production/scalability.

Sodium Ions batteries are coming to market, however the issue is that Lithium Ion are just improving faster and making it harder for Sodium Ion batteries to compete.

“Fuck me Sam, I don’t have anymore ideas on how to turn a profit. We’ve tried everything. How about we just give the AI its own infrastructure and bank account with the instructions ‘make money’ and see what it does? I know that safety guy advised against it before, but he no long works here. I mean if it becomes a singularity event, at least it’s our singularity event to control”

What are they going to do? Put IoT DRM in every stepper motor?
