Cooler-running diodes would be neat, those seem to be a weak point in many cheap power supplies
Probably have to wait for the patent to expire before these emerge in cheapo PSUs. I expect there will be substantial R&D, tooling and so on costs to recover before they get anywhere near plebs like us. Remember it's just the material and it still needs components designing around it so realistically there are going to be a lot of costs to recoup.Quote:

Please Ignore my previous post, for whatever reason my crap browser did not display the entire artical, until now
Yay! Yet another amazing battery breakthrough that we'll never see on the market!
Either iron, nickle or cobolt. Probably cobolt. The battery magic isn't in the elements, it's in its structure.Quote:
