New water-based capacitor survives 60,000 charging cycles without degrading
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Hamburg University of Technology built a "Blue Capacitor" using only water, clay, and carbon. By trapping pure water in one-nanometer-wide channels, it conducts electricity without chemicals, survived 60,000 charging cycles, and reached 1.6 volts — potentially transforming renewable energy storage and grid stabilization.
