chemicalprophet, By the old journalism rule: no…
NickwithaC, 
Graphene breakthroughs are up there with new battery tech and HIV cures.
FartsWithAnAccent, 
Yeah but supposedly we're actually finally getting solid state tech commercially available in things like vehicles within the next year or two.
Technically, you can already buy them as external battery packs for devices but they are pricey compared to old lithium ion batteries.
mindbleach, It can do everything except leave the lab.
gruvn, Can it break down and/or be recycled? No thanks to plastic v2.0.

LudwigvanBeethoven, Isnt it like

I'm not holding my breath but it would be pretty cool...
