From what I could figure out, Li-Ion cells grow metal dendrites on the cathode/anode when charging normally, even more so when charging too fast, and eventually they will connect and short out the battery (which leads to fires and other problems).

The new glass anode/cathodes do not exhibit this behavior, and so can be charged faster, and for more recharge cycles than a Li-Ion, without ill effect. Supposedly.

After reading the article, a more accurate title may be: "two recent studies reach different conclusions by using slightly different methods." But it's not that attention grabbing... just science as usual...

Yes, I noticed that... That why my Facebook list contains very few "friends". It wasn't really necessary though, (at least for me) for a scientific study to prove me that.

Am I the only one who didn't find the results so amazing?

"The news comes from the Global Carbon Project, a group of scientists who measure how much carbon dioxide humans emit each year, as well as how much is subsequently absorbed by plants, land surfaces and oceans."... ?!

The most important: In contrast to regular silk, the carbon-enhanced silks are twice as tough and can withstand at least 50% higher stress before breaking.

WoW this thread si a really valiant effort. keep up the good work!
