but why the bashing of the scientists...
From all the versions of the article I have read online (which i admit is not *all* articles, haha), I have not read one where the scientists who developed the fast discharging batteries claim that their batteries do, in fact, charge quickly. So, I guess "the scribes are lying about this, too." Anyhow, I think it is unfair to put down a fairly impressive bit of materials science (and the people involved with its development) just because the media can't get its facts straight (and yes, Nature went out for a bit of publicity). Yes, perhaps it isn't worth the media coverage it is getting, but don't make out the scientists to be committing some sort of fraud *without evidence* of their wrongdoing, that makes you no better than the rest of the media.
