    no, but it's nice to know researchers around the world are taking this seriously. some one will break through eventually.

    I have this fabulous, revolutionary battery design. Just bung me £10M and I'm sure it'll work out fine.

    I'll become interested once these 'breakthroughs' make it to the market.

    I'm fairly sure Panasonic and Tesla will have something half way decent or us within the next few years.
    Probably not "nano nano" tubes, but at least something....

    I'm betting on carbon nanotube electrode lithium polymer batteries making it out the gate first.
