Google X Labs: Battery life in mobile devices has always been a big problem for manufacturers. To this day the battery life of most smartphones it's around 24 hours on a single charge. And while device makers are scrambling to find the perfect battery, Google hasn't seemed to be up for the challenge until now.
According to a publication from Wall Street Journal, a small group within it 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 led by former Apple battery expert Dr. Ramesh Bhardway was originally created in 2012 and apparently has something to show Results.
Today's WSJ publication reveals that a Google X Labs project is currently developing a flexible solid-state battery that can replace chemical liquids with solids through which current can 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 (perhaps a flexible wearable Samsung smartphone?) and could even in a more extreme scenario be inserted into the human body, although we're not exactly sure what the point would be.
2013, Google's Chief Executive Officer, Larry Page He said battery life for mobile devices was a "huge issue," but the company was trying to come up with new and better ideas.
Two years after the statement, WSJ gave us a taste of Google's plans.
However, scientists at the company's Google X Labs do not 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 Stanford University had developed an aluminum ion battery that allows for very fast charging times.
