Others were meek and subservient. Both shared one quality: an inability to take a joke. The first group responded to teasing with anger or viole
'It's very counterintuitive': The quantum batteries that upend the rules of charging (opens the original)

Scientists have made the world's first quantum battery prototype and, unlike conventional batteries, it charges faster the larger it gets. Could these bizarre devices one day power quantum computing – or even your phone? Everyone knows that the larger the battery, the longer it takes to charge – that's why it can take several hours to charge a laptop and typically all night to charge an electric vehicle.
