Technology has been evolving at great pace but there are some major areas where the growth has not been significant. Battery technology is one such area. We have seen leaps in  display resolutions, cameras and processing technology but the one technology that drives them all is still in a relatively stagnant  stage. We remember using phones with battery back-up of days and even weeks but with time the duration has decreased to even less than a day.

StoreDot  is one company that is taking the onus of revolutionising the battery technology. StoreDot first displayed  its  superfast-charging  battery in April 2014 at Microsoft's Think Next Conference in Tel Aviv, which was a piece of plastic as big as a laptop charger block.

StoreDot now reveals an all new charger which they say they have built from bottom-up. This will be a practical as well as socially acceptable design. It will be sleeker with more refined technology residing in it. StoreDot managed to pull off a spectacular stunt at the Las Vegas CES 2015, they demonstrated their product by charging the Samsung Galaxy S4 in 30 seconds flat.  

StoreDot is a nanotechnology company that is working to improve everything from TV displays to nanomedicine. The  company mentions on their website that their mission is to create "innovative bio-inspired nanotechnology, by changing the rules of device capabilities, has the potential to disrupt multiple industries such as energy and memory storage; semiconductors; computer monitors; imaging and bio-medical sensors; bio- labeling for the food industry and more."

The company has been building semiconductors with its Nanodot technology, which are made up of bioorganic peptide molecules. The happy accident of  creating new batteries happened during a research where the company found that peptides could also help charge a phone battery.

StoreDot's quantum dot nanocrystal solution is five times more powerful than the current commercially produced battery type that uses an electrolyte to generate electrons, and therefore drastically reduces charging time. The charger will not be ready till 2017 since the 40 amps of electricity it supplies would fry most of the current phones.

Whenever this prototype hits mainstream market it will be revolutionary in nature. No more fights for power outlets in public, no more talking on a "wired mobile phone" and no more running out of home with an empty battery.
