Platinum helps develop tiny batteries 19th February 2007
Abstract:
Platinum has been used in the development of new lithium-ion batteries that could provide much smaller power sources than currently available.
Experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have developed the new rechargeable battery, which can reassemble itself from microscopic components.
