No. The news that will cause people to actually get excited is when large scale manufacturing is figured out for any of these tiny and lab created proof of concepts.

We've had "better" battery technology for years. We just can't make any of it at any kind of scale.

Could you please provide examples of drastically improved batteries that are unfeasible for general use? Genuinely curious.

Basically we've been able to make better batteries at the micro scale in labs for years. We just haven't been able to make them for industry.
