A California teen has attracted the
attention of tech giants Google for her potentially revolutionary
invention which charges a phone in 20 seconds flat.
The
super-fast charging device has been dubbed a super capacitor by
18-year-old Esha Khare, of Saratoga - as she took home $50,000 from the
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which took place in
Phoenix this week.
The
device will make waiting hours for a phone to charge a thing of the past
and the gizmo packs more energy into a smaller space than traditional
phone batteries and holds the charge for longer.'My cellphone battery
always dies,' she told NBC News when asked what inspired her to work on
the energy-storage technology.
Specializing
in nanochemistry allowed Khare to reduve the size of her invention.
'Really working at the nanoscale to make significant advances in many
different fields.'

'It is also flexible, so it can be used in rollup displays and clothing and fabric,' Khare added.
'It has a lot of different applications and advantages over batteries in that sense.'
The
supercapacitor is flexible and tiny, and is able to handle 10,000
recharge cycles, more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.
How
an 18-year-old girl has managed to figure out something that
multi-national corporations have not has led to her being flooded with
offers for her amazing leap forward.
