Google X is a kind of secret laboratory of the Mountain View company, where engineers are working on ideas generally very futuristic: the Google Glass has been a project of Google X, as well as car fleet of driverless firm. According to information relayed this weekend, the last problem that the Google X team looks respect to batteries.
Improve the autonomy of a battery, as the storage capacity is two components that would have a huge impact on everything from solar farms, to smartphones that you have in your pocket. So it makes sense for Google to work directly on technology. The Wall Street Journal says that a small team of four was to study the potential of lithium-ion in the solid state for the future.
The work on this technology is not easy, since the batteries inside our gadgets must remain both safe in terms of use and commercially viable for production. It is a delicate balancing act that requires a certain amount of chemistry and physics. This is why so many innovations "super battery" eventually fall into oblivion - it takes years of effort to make small improvements.
Google and the other
Of course there are a lot of people working on the problem. Last week, Stanford University scientists have unveiled an aluminum battery can be fully charged in one minute, and has a battery that is the same as the batteries embedded in smartphones today .
Google has not made any official comment on the publication of the WSJ, but it is reassuring to know that the company is working on this case - with Apple, Tesla, and dozens of other teams on the globe. With all the projects that need batteries, Google always wants to improve the sector.
