Why Tesla’s New Nanotech Battery Will Be Worth Trillions

Elon Musk’s Tesla is not just famous for its electric cars. Tesla also has a huge interest in making innovative batteries to power its vehicles. Right now, most electric cars use lithium-ion batteries like the ones used in phones and laptops. The problem is these batteries take a lot of time to charge, and they don’t last very long.

Now, there’s a solution. Graphene, a nanomaterial that has lots of potential applications, can be used to enhance batteries. With graphene, lithium batteries can charge faster, store more energy, and last much longer.

So, is Tesla working on a nanotech-enhanced graphene battery? Find out in today’s video.

Stuart Hammerof – Quantum Physics of Consciousness

Are quantum events required for consciousness in a very special sense, far beyond in the general sense that quantum events are part of all physical systems? What would it take for quantum events, on such a micro-scale, to be relevant for brain function, which operates at the much higher level of neurons and brain circuits? What would it mean?
