Super cheap earth element to advance new battery tech to the industry
Worldwide efforts to make sodium-ion batteries just as functional as lithium-ion batteries have long since controlled sodium's tendency to explode, but not yet resolved how to prevent sodium-ions from 'getting lost' during the first few times a battery charges and discharges. Now, researchers made a sodium powder version that fixes this problem and holds a charge properly.
This will be SUPER huge if we can eliminate or greatly reduce the need for lithium in batteries. Sodium is literally everywhere on this planet so every country could have their own manufacturing capabilities. I would love to see the sodium battery in place of all batteries in the not to distant future.

Yeah, I think this technology has huge potential if it actually works.
