"Wake me up when they're in stores"
"Another battery technology we'll never see." "Sure, just like the last 3000 that never went anywhere."

Ok, with that out of the way -- Cool technology, seems like it can be used for quite a few applications. If I'm understanding this right, it seems like it's a solar cell + battery in one process? So it absorbs light and can release that energy as needed?

Feels like that can be used for a lot of off-grid tech. Solar powered lights, rural villages, general infrastructure that doesn't need to be hooked up to anything.

I could be reading this wrong, cause funny-words-magic-man-speak is kinda obtuse.
