April 3, 2008 -- mPhase/AlwaysReady, Inc. says it made "battery history" today by demonstrating for the first time, during an event in New York City, a "significant breakthrough in battery technology." The company's Smart NanoBattery uses microfluidics to transfer liquid electrolyte through a nanostructured separator known as a membrane which makes contact with the solid electrodes, enabling activation of an electrical device. The membrane is designed to keep the electrolyte separate from the electrodes until activation is initiated (see the video).

"This microfluidic phenomenon serves as the basis for a new type of battery with unlimited shelf life that can be used to provide power in portable electronic devices for commercial and military applications," said Ronald A. Durando, CEO of mPhase Technologies Inc.

The mPhase/AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery was recently mentioned by Credit Suisse, a global research and investment banking firm, on page 5 of its report, Nanotechnology for Energy Systems of the Future.
