Ultra Caps Redone

We wrote a bit about ultra-capacitors a couple of weeks ago. It appears they are in the news again. This time with nano-tubes. The article is a good over view about the the state of the art concerning Ultra capacititors, and realistic in their potential applications. Its a fascinating article that not only goes into an indepth explanation of the research, but it is written first hand by one of the developers himself, Joel Schindall. I thought this photo was slick.
