Google X Labs: Battery life on mobile devices has always been a big problem for manufacturers. Until today, the battery life of most smartphones is around 24 hours with a single charge. And while device manufacturers are trying to find the battery with the perfect performance, so far Google has not seemed to be part of this challenge.
According to a publication by the Wall Street Journal, a small group inside Google X Labs 2013 has begun research into discovering new technologies that will be used on mobile devices such as smartphones, wearables, tablets,
The team is headed by Apple's former battery specialist. Ramesh Bhardway was initially created by 2012 and appears to be showing results.
Today's WSJ publication reveals that one project of Google X Labs is currently trying to develop a flexible solid-state battery that will be able to replace chemical liquids with solids through which current will be transmitted.
Such technology could lead to batteries produced in layers. It would also mean smaller and safer mobile batteries. So we will no longer hear scenarios with battery bursts during charging.
These batteries could be used to power flexibly products (ίσως ένα εύκαμπτο smartphone της Samsung which will be wearable?) and could even in a more extreme scenario be inserted into the human body, although we are not exactly sure what the purpose of such a thing would be.
2013, Google's Chief Executive Officer, Larry Page δήλωσε ότι η διάρκεια ζωής της μπαταρίας για τις φορητές συσκευές ήταν ένα "τεράστιο ζήτημα," αλλά η εταιρεία προσπαθούσε να επινοήσει νέες και καλύτερες ιδέες.
Two years after the statement, WSJ gave us a taste of Google's plans.
However, scientists from the company's Google X Labs don't seem to be the only ones trying to develop the batteries of the future. For example, a few days ago, we reported that researchers at the University of Stanford they created an aluminum ion battery that allows for very fast charging times.
