That's Argonne National Lab with a Lithium-Air solid state battery.

I don't know why Scott is so skeptical of news, but then gets excited about all of the battery "news". My default is to disbelieve all battery news. If there was ever an article that explained what the drawbacks and challenges are, then it might be worth looking at.

Twice the energy density isn't what's required to displace oil burning commercial aircraft, but it could allow for short distance taxis for the wealthy. They could get from one side of Portland to the other during rush hour in less than an hour.
