MIT researchers discover new energy source

At MIT scientists have discovered a new energy source. The way it works is carbon nanotubes are covered with a thin layer of fuel. This creates a reaction that gives off a mini "thermo-power wave". Scientists have found that this technology could be used in the future for making batteries and other electronics like computers and cellphones. Also, because of the amount of energy output batteries would become much smaller and also this technology wouldn't have any energy drainage like the batteries we use today so they would be much more environmentally friendly.

I find this to be a great discovery. We should be trying to find better ways in using our resources to maximize the benefit from them. This technology is defianately significant in the way we look at the energy sources that we use now. In the future we will be more friendly to our environment and the benefit we recieve the product will be much better as well. I'd say its a win-win situation. In my opinion we need to look for more ways in which we can do this.
