Unfortunately, on the downside, all of the Wi-Fi connections need power to operate, and this severely restricts the pervasiveness of this technology. However, researchers at the University of Washington have developed a system that they say eliminates the need for power supplies for these connections by using what is known as radio frequency (RF) backscatter technology.  <a href="/web/20140810191954/http://www.gizmag.com/no-power-wi-fi-connectivity/33225/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="33128"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2> <a href="/web/20140810191954/http://www.gizmag.com/stable-lithium-anode-boost-battery-efficiency/33128/">Stable lithium anode may triple battery efficiency</a> </h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20140810191954/http://www.gizmag.com/author/colin-jeffrey/">Colin Jeffrey</a></div> <div class="date">July 29, 2014</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20140810191954/http://www.gizmag.com/stable-lithium-anode-boost-battery-efficiency/33128/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20140810191954/http://www.gizmag.com/stable-lithium-anode-boost-battery-efficiency/33128/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140810191954im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/stanford-stable-lithium-anode.jpg" title="Nanospheres were specifically created to protect the lithium from reacting chemically with..." alt="Nanospheres were specifically created to protect the lithium from reacting chemically with..."/> </a> <div class="summary"> <p> Stanford University researchers claim to have created the first stable pure lithium anode in a working battery by using carbon nanospheres as a protective sheath to guard against degradation.
