"eyeballs-for-sale:  continueplease:  nbcnews:  Teen's invention could charge your phone in 20 seconds (Photo: Intel) Waiting hours for a cellphone to charge may become a thing of the past, thanks to an 18-year-old high-school student's invention. She won a $50,000 prize Friday at an international science fair for creating an energy storage device that can be fully juiced in 20 to 30 seconds. Read the complete story.  Everybody, remember this face.Remember this name.If this becomes a commonly used & highly lauded discovery, at some point a White guy is going to take credit, even if he has to word it like ""Improved upon a previous…""No no noFuck that guy.Remember this brown girl.Remeeeemmmmmberrrrr   What's interesting is that this is the technology that's going to popularize the electric car. Right now the main concerns with them are batteries that last long enough for all the trips the user wishes to make (at a cheap price - we can't all afford Tesla Roadsters, though we may want them), and the ability to charge them quickly - no need for an overnight. There are a few superchargers that can give you ~150 miles of range in half an hour (thanks again, Tesla!), but that's still not enough for a lot of people. Imagine trying to road trip a thousand miles (like my drive to school) with needing to stop every 150 miles to recharge. It's still not quite feasible. But when we can get cheap, super fast charge in them? THAT will be the future."
