Forget solar cells, this is the most exciting news of the last (or should I say next) 5 years:

Meanwhile, Robert Hockaday, a scientist on entrepreneurial leave from Los Alamos National Laboratory, has developed a miniature fuel cell intended to provide energy for small portable electronics, such as cellular phones and notebook computers. Hockaday microengineered his Micro-Fuel Cells employing the same miniaturization and materials technology used for ICs. Now he is designing a way to inexpensively manufacture the fuel cells using a printing process similar to IC lithography.

The cell is said to remain powered-up on standby for more than 40 days with a talk time of 100 hours, compared to one day of standby power and two hours of talk time with conventional batteries; power would be restored with a "few drops" of methanol. Hockaday's company, Energy Related Devices Inc. (Los Alamos, N.M.) has received a $1 million investment from Manhattan Scientifics Inc. (New York City) to build finished preproduction prototypes.
