Yeah? Phone charger that charges your battery in 5 minute flat!

Your days of watching haplessly at your empty phone battery in the midst of a wave of attack on Clash of Clans, may be over. Even better, you forgot to charge your batter overnight but hey, charge it full in 5 minutes flat as you put on your shoes. Welcome to the world of StoreDot, an Israeli company that has created the full-in-5-minutes battery charger for mobile phones.

StoreDot, a groundbreaking Israeli materials-science company, opened its doors to Wired to demonstrate how by designing molecules that previously didn't exist, it's designed a battery that gorges your phone with powere in just several minutes.


"We're synthesisng new molecules designed from scratch in our labs," said Doron Myersdorf, founder and CEO of StoreDot, whose investors include Samsung, to Wired personnel. "We have 20 PhDs in our lab, imagining new molecules that don't exist."
The company grew out of nanotechnology research into treating Alzheimer's disease at Tel Aviv University. Researchers discovered that two-nanometer-diameter natural crystals -- which it calls "nanodots" -- had an unusual ability to carry an electric charge and to emit light. They then began working on prototype battery storage systems and new kinds of display screens.

Today, the company is working with Samsung to build phone batteries that can be recharged in less than a minute. Myersdorf showed WIRED a demo of a phone that went from almost empty to near full in around 40 seconds. An earlier prototype, a demo of which went viral on YouTube with more than 3.5m views, showed a battery more than two centimetres thick that didn't fit inside a smartphone's body. Today's battery can fit inside a Samsung phone. The company claims it can charge its batteries 100 times faster than standard Li-Ion batteries, and that they last three years.

The power of this charger was demonstrated recently at the Mobile World Congress Show in Barcelona, Spain, and many said that it really works.

StoreDot showed the prowess of its battery charger by using a Samsung Galaxy S6 equipped with a modified battery and charging port. The mobile has only 10 percent charge and within 5 minutes and 25 seconds, it went up to 100 percent.

Keep charging your phone so your camp won't get overrun by the clans. In the meantime, wait and be patient for the complete battery from StoreDot to hit the market.

Apple to reportedly stop supporting 32-bit apps with iOS 11

In a bid to remove problem apps and to focus on quality, Apple will stop supporting 32-bit apps with the release of iOS 11 later this year, meaning that many legacy applications will no longer function at all. "Starting with iOS 10.3, Apple has started alerting users when they open a 32-bit app on iOS. The pop up notification reads that the app must be updated by the developer or else it may not work with future versions of iOS," tech website 9to5mac.com reported on Monday. The tech giant started supporting 64-bit applications with the launch of the iPhone 5s in September 2013. The company also asked developers to submit new apps with 64-bit support since February 2015 and app updates starting June 2015. Last month, Apple has officially released iOS 10.3 update that has major updates regarding its newly launched AirPods, WiFi calling and SiriKit. Other minor updates include new security features and a new cloud section under the Apple ID Settings menu. The new section shows ...
