Rule of thumb: if a headline is a yes or no question, the answer is always no.

Wow, are we actually going to see it in use right as solid state batteries start coming out too?

I'm not holding my breath but it would be pretty cool...

By the old journalism rule: no...

Graphene breakthroughs are up there with new battery tech and HIV cures.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah but supposedly we're actually finally getting solid state tech commercially available in things like vehicles within the next year or two.

Technically, you can already buy them as external battery packs for devices but they are pricey compared to old lithium ion batteries.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
