It looks like the geniuses over at MIT have done it again. This time, their achievements have come from developing a microbattery. All of our gadgets and toys seem to run off batteries these days, so the talented engineers from MIT have developed a method for both creating and installing these microbatteries. These batteries are small enough to be used with medical sensors and directly on microchips.

While this won’t mean that your battery on the next iPhone will be smaller than you can actually see, it does mean that there will be a lot smaller technologies coming forward (think nano technology) in the coming years do to achievements like this.
