Road warriors looking for longer life from their notebook PCs have another three years to wait before methanol pumps, the successor to current lithium polymer batteries, become commercially available, notebook giant Toshiba's head technology strategist said yesterday.
Start-up PolyFuel has commercially released a membrane for creating fuel cells for laptops and mobile phones, a milestone in the budding fuel cell industry.
The electronics giant is teaming up with a maker of disposable cigarette lighters to make methanol fuel cartridges for handheld computers.
Scientists at the CSIRO are working to develop micro fuel cells to power portable electronic devices and have made an important breakthrough that may make the technology cheaper to own and operate.
Toshiba has demonstrated the latest version of its fuel cell designed to power portable electronic devices, but problems with the new technology mean that production could be two years away.
If the world's largest chip manufacturer wanted to impress the world, what would it do? Our inside photo gallery from the Intel developer conference in Shanghai reveals the world's smallest motherboard, fondling robots, fuel cells, medical technology and Intel finally unleashing the power of the Atom.
The electronics giant is teaming up with a maker of disposable cigarette lighters to make methanol fuel cartridges for handheld computers.
A start-up company says it has developed a way to make fuel cells out of silicon, a change that potentially could increase the performance of cells and make them easier to manufacture.
Five years from now the notebook will likely be smaller and lighter, capable of making mobile phone calls on its own and running on methanol.

A casual observer might have gotten the impression from last week's colossal Centrino launch--which the company declared was its biggest product introduction since Pentium--that Intel had just invented 802.11 networking and wireless hot spots.
A start-up company says it has developed a way to make fuel cells out of silicon, a change that potentially could increase the performance of cells and make them easier to manufacture.
A researcher at Sandia National Laboratories says he has created technology to disperse the heat generated within laptop computers more efficiently than today's cooling systems.
