Hold onto your (almost dead) phones, a new research breakthrough could have you saying goodbye to extended charging times. Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder have made significant strides in understanding how ions move within supercapacitors, paving the way for a future where charging your phone could take as little as 60 seconds.

Supercapacitors, unlike traditional batteries, store energy through the accumulation of ions on electrodes. The new study sheds light on how these ions navigate…
