New smartphones usually have a very decent battery life for a few months after purchase. However, this gets worse over time, partly because the batteries in them are slowly destroyed by constant charging, reducing their capacity. This is especially true inoneThis means that your phone may last a few hours less on a single charge than it did initially. However, this problem could be fixed in the near future.onec. 

University of California, Irvine student Mye Le Thai pulled off a truly groundbreaking feat. In 2016, she figured out how to make batteries that maxThe minimum capacity is almost not reduced due to charging. While conventional batteries survive only a few thousand charging cycles, and their quality naturally decreases rapidly with increasing number of cycles, batteries using the student's technology can reportedly last up to 200 thousand charging cycles. Purely theoretically, it could last at least 400 years of operation, according to initial estimates. And just imagine, Apple states on its website that the classic battery used in the iPhone is designed to retain up to 500% of its original capacity after 80 full charge cycles. However, if you already reach about 80% of the capacity, the phone's lower endurance is really noticeable. 

The whole magic lies in ultrathin nanowires in the battery, which are used in batteries. The student "just" coated the gold nanowires, which are thinner than a human hair, with an electrolyte gel, which rapidly increased their lifespan. According to available information, their properties did not deteriorate at all in three months, during which the battery was subjected to 200 charging cycles. 

Although this technology is still in its infancy, many experts promise a bright future from it, which could significantly change a lot of electronics, led by laptops, tablets, smartphones and similar things. However, this revolution could also be reflected in the automotive industry, both in electric cars and in classic cars. Of course, everything is still in the early stages and we will have to wait a little longer for the sharp deployment of this invention. However, the promise for the future is undoubtedly huge.
