  • This may be the only downside. The new sodium-ion battery weighs 350g (about 12.3 oz.), which is about 1.5 times heavier than an equivalent lithium-ion battery.

    And that’s why I said it’s not happening. These batteries are far too heavy for cell phones. That’s an increase in weight I would gladly accept, but I don’t expect it to catch on.

    Most of the weight in a phone is from the battery so to get an idea find a second cellphone and hold it with yours and that is the new weight. Ironically my cellphone is only 170g. Meaning that just the battery from your article is 2x the weight of my phone. I would gladly carry that for the increased battery life alone, but many will not.

    Hope I’m wrong though and we do adopt it, or maybe they figure out how to make these batteries even lighter.












  • I’m an archaeologist and I’m totally cool with them having a few bars. As long as everything removed from collections is weighed, recorded, and ideally photographed it’s okay. Of course we should keep a representative sample of lead bars, but there’s a lot of material and we can’t curate every ingot or every brick. So it’s a balance for sure.







  • 25th won’t hold. The way the law is written seems to only apply to physical incapacitation. As soon as Trump delivers a statement saying he’s fine and presents himself he’d be president again. I suspect the Supreme Court would also support this literal interpretation. The amendment does not work well with mental decline unfortunately.

    He must be impeached and removed from office by Congress.
