Efficient new power generation technique discovered

Researchers in Melbourne and the US have made a breakthrough in energy storage and power generation. The team was working on measuring the acceleration of a chemical reaction along a nanotube when they discovered that it generated power. And the power generated relative to the energy source size is three to four times greater than what is currently possible with the best lithium-ion batteries.
