"A group of Korean scientists, working at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), have developed a fast-charge lithium-ion battery that can be recharged 30 to 120 times faster than conventional li-ion batteries. The team believes it can build a battery pack for electric vehicles that can be fully charged in less than a minute."
Of course, that's for cars - not Kindles. I can see car manufacturers jumping on that one if those Korean scientists can deliver a production model.
