As we near the end of the 21st century’s first decade, it has become painfully clear that the current forms of energy storage currently in use are obsolete and inadequate. With the world’s demand for energy growing ever steadily, the need for innovative, economical, and environmentally sound ways of storing and distributing power is at the forefront of today’s energy research.
