Oh cool another magical battery technology that we will never hear about again

There is a lot of science happening but adoption will never happen overnight. There's many potential alternative chemistries but they need time and money to mature. Lithium batteries took decades to mature. Calcium and sodium batteries definitely don't match "never hear about again".

Chinese scientists say

At this point they've shat the bed so many times i'd call for peer review if they said the sky was blue

Edit: loool truth hurts tankies

Nature is a peer-reviewed journal. One of the most well-known, in fact.
