Extinction awaits those firms that fall behind, futurist warns
Abstract:
Nanotechnology is on the cusp of producing smaller batteries with many times the output of current technology. Power tool maker DeWalt has a battery that has double to four times the output, but it's not yet small enough to be used in mobile computers, he says.
