science Scientists have created a quantum battery prototype that charges almost instantly using a quantum effect called superabsorption. The device, developed by a team led by James Quach at CSIRO, operates using an optical microcavity filled with organic dye molecules. This prototype demonstrated charging in femtoseconds and holding energy for nanoseconds, marking a major step forward. However, it currently stores only a tiny amount of energy and is far from replacing current phone or EV batteries. Researchers plan to combine this with classical layers and link multiple units for future practical applications. 🔋
