So, a work in progress. But the most encouraging news I've heard from battery research for many years.

I still say the article does not say 10X more capacity. Only 10X more LIFE. And life in rechargeable batteries is typically cycle life.
And BTW if they did have 10x more capcaity and lost 50%, they would still have 5x the capacity, not twice.
