Cork researchers find a way to extend phone and laptop battery life by up to 50%

Research from the Tyndall National Institute in Cork aims to resolve the long-standing issues of poor battery life on mobile phones, laptops and other devices

This improved efficiency can extend the charge time of batteries by more than 50%, and could have a significant impact on mobile phones.

Groundbreaking research from a Cork-based engineering expert team could see battery life on various electronic devices and appliances extended by more than 50%.

Global heads have been turned due to Professor Cian Ó Mathúna at the Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork (UCC) due to his MagIC (Magnetics on Silicon) technology, which could also massively reduce energy use of high-performance electronic systems and equipment, as well as extend their battery life.
