Yes, I even commented on it on youtube ages ago...
In my view a 100% (or even more) better battery is announced very few weeks.
If any of it was true, then 2x2x2 .. you could by now power NY from a battery the size of a        sugar cube.

Let's wait for it to be in the shops.
Better for Tesla too, needs to rebuild his factory...

BTW do you not design things for students?
Regarding that lecture by whatshisname about Higgs,
I remember as a kid my parents took me to the exhibition 'the atom' it was in Schiphol airport in Amsterdam.
there was, among many other things, a huge cloud chamber:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_chamber 

If you watch the traces it is just like those Feynman diagrams, actually much a verbatim copy of what was seen
later using huge photo multipliers.
So it is a natural to me, I guess if you are exposed at very young age to something it is easier.

Some years ? ago I made my own in a small plastic box, actually did see some traces.
Much stuff like that is on youtube if you google cloud chamber, for example:
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiscokCGOhs

Apart from the funny math if electronics was as simple as physics models ...

In those early days everything was radioactive, from light switches with radium to radium hands on watches
to what not.
I grew up drinking from uranium glassware, until mama got the news that was dangerous,
then I switched to melting solder.
And that does explain a lot I think.

So maybe you could sell cloud-chambers to get the kids interested?
