Battery 500: The IBM Almaden Research Center in California issued a progress report on its project Battery 500. It started back in 2009 with the goal of developing a super metal-air battery that would allow for an electric range of 500 miles (800 km). While the technology is still years away from commercialisation, researchers are confident that it is doable.
