It does sound like a dream, but the Scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have finally made it come true! They have been successful to create an eco-friendly, silicon-air battery that can provide power to devices for literally thousands of hours before replacement.
Created from silicon and oxygen, the batteries are light in weight, and can work well in extremely dry conditions as well as in areas having high humidity levels. The new battery would become very useful for medical applications like hearing aids or diabetic pumps. It can also be used for several other purposes such as for microelectronics and sensors.
