Modern smartphones may have their fair share of bells and whistles, but then again, battery life is lower than that of older Nokias, which lasted up to five days of use before needing a trip to a charging station. If we want to enjoy the apps and features of modern smartphones, then this is the price we should pay. There may be hope yet in the form of new fuel cell technology, which claims to power phones for up to a week. The Korean researchers behind this particular fuel cell technology also claim that it is capable of powering drones to stay in the air for over an hour, compared to the quarter-hour operations we are now used to. This group of researchers from South Korea's Polish University of Science and Technology has proposed a fuel cell technology design, called a micro solid oxide fuel cell, which they hope will soon replace existing battery technology in smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. equipment, even drones. This technology could even be extended to electric cars, now what? As the world's first fuel cell to combine porous stainless steel with "minimum heat capacity" membrane electrolytes and electrodes, it delivers the best performance and durability possible. The question now is, how long will it take for them to release a market-ready version for the masses?
