Nanotechnology has been harnessed by Israeli firm StoreDot to develop a battery that can be charged in just 60 seconds

More than a better camera, a slimmer handset or a larger screen, smartphone users know what they want most from their device, according to a recent survey: longer battery life.

Doron Myersdorf’s solution takes only a minute. His Israeli company, StoreDot, has developed a battery that can be charged in 60 seconds which he says can end dead-phone dread because no handset will be lifeless for long.
