A Glass or two may boost battery life
 

Boffins at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of glass material that could make a major difference to the life of batteries.

Vanadate-borate glass can be used as an electrode material in lithium-ion batteries to double the amount of time they last between charges, the researchers claim.
Researchers Semih Afyon and Reinhard Nesper are responsible for leading a the team of ETH researchers to the discovery.
