http://www.geek.com/chips/forgetful-sci ... n-1631273/The accident occurred when Wang and Li forgot to remove one batch of the nanoparticles from the soaking process. That batch ended up soaking for several hours longer than intended...
Rather than discarding this forgotten batch, they decided to test it ....The extra long soak meant the anodes did not expand and contract, in fact they created a battery that over 500 charge/discharge cycles retained up to four-times the capacity of the equivalent graphite anode batteries....

Awesome hahahaha.
Stuff like that would happen in my lab all time, judging from how I cook food lol.

Pretty cool looking picture too. Odd how sometimes a small accident turns into something great.

TmEE accidentally created Chinese Food that after ingestion doesn't leave you feeling hungry for up to 4 times longer (in some cases, a full hour).
