Researchers at the University of Michigan and Cornell University are pioneering a new material, called ‘magnetoelectric multiferroic’.
This material is a thin polar film, which can switched between positive and negative using a tiny pulse of energy.
100 times more efficient
The material will allow computers to operate on surges of energy, rather than the constant stream which is currently required.
The tech will mean less power overall is needed.
So this is good for you, people who want to advertise things to you, and good for the environment.
The new set up will mean mobile phones need 100 times less power to run.
Charging will take less time, and occur less frequently.
Coming in 2030
Sadly, it’s not yet ready for use. One of the lead researchers claims that the tech won’t be available until 2030.
They’re probably charging it.

Adele has been forced to cancel the final two shows of her world tour after damaging her vocal cords. The “devastated” singer was scheduled to perform two more nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, but has taken the decision to pull out on medical advice. “To say I’m heartbroken would be a complete understatement,” she wrote wrote in a Twitter post.
Rumours of the Lions demise has been greatly exaggerated. What unfolded in Wellington on Saturday was one of the great British and Irish Lions victories of all time, and in a 24-21 victory that was littered with ill-discipline, red and yellow cards and two tries for the tourists, the series will head back to Auckland for an almighty deciding showdown. Sonny Bill Williams will be remembered as the villain; his first-half red card leaving his side in huge trouble, and yet the Lions still nearly found a way to lose the second Test at the Westpac Stadium.
