"Nature provides the models for energy solutions." This is our research philosophy. Conventional batteries are becoming inadequate for the increasing power and complexity of portable electronic devices such as cell phones, laptop computers, and video recorders. Soon there will be a new portable power solution - MicroFuel Cells™ from Manhattan Scientifics, Inc. (MSI). The first MicroFuel Cells we are developing are designed to be compatible replacements for conventional cellular phone battery packs. Capable of being produced in economical mile-long, thin, printed sheets (much like printed circuits), MicroFuel Cells may eventually obsolete small batteries. Better, smaller, less-costly, environmentally safe, and much more efficient, the patented technologies of the methanol-based MicroFuel Cell are expected to drive a digital cellular telephone on standby for 6 months as opposed to 2 weeks with lithium ion batteries. In addition, the MicroFuel Cell will, when developed, provide 1 week of talk time instead of the current 5 hours that lithium ion battery-powered cell phones now provide.
