A new development from Australia’s national science agency is offering a glimpse of a future in which charging your phone, laptop, or even grid-scale storage systems could take a fraction of the time it does now.

Researchers in Australia say they have built the world’s first fully functioning proof-of-concept quantum battery.

Scientists from the CSIRO, the University of Melbourne, and RMIT announced that they had successfully developed and tested a quantum battery prototype, Lab Worldwide reported.
