Capacitors, given their high energy output and recharging speed, could play a major role in powering the machines of the future, from electric cars to cell phones. However, the biggest hurdle for capacitors as energy storage devices is that they store much less energy than a similar-sized battery. Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology are tackling that problem by using supercomputers and machine learning techniques to ultimately find ways to build more capable capacitors.
