But we DID hear about all those battery improving scientists again. If you compare the batteries in your current smartphone with those from 10 years ago, you can see quite the difference in performance (charge/discharge speed), longetivity (charge/discharge cycles) and capacityIsize. Those things take time, and not every innovation that is found is cost effective or practical as an industrial process - but it might be later on, awaiting additional knowledge to empower it.
