, N.J. -- The current issue of the Bell Labs Technical Journal Bell Labs Technical Journal is the in-house journal for scientists of Bell Labs/Lucent. It is published quarterly by John Wiley & Sons.

The journal has been through several name changes during its lifetime, including the Bell System Technical Journal,

mPhase is developing a new generation of reserve power cells, which could store reserve power for decades and generate electric current virtually on demand. The prototype battery is based on a Bell Labs discovery that liquid droplets of electrolyte electrolyte (ĭlĕk`trəlīt'), electrical conductor in which current is carried by ions rather than by free electrons (as in a metal).  will stay in a dormant state atop nanotextured surfaces until stimulated to flow, thereby triggering a reaction producing electricity. This effect can permit precise control and activation of the batteries when required, yielding a very long shelf life. Future batteries based on this technology have the potential to deliver far longer shelf life and better storage capacity than existing battery technology. Potential initial applications for this technology may include defense, industrial, healthcare, and consumer electronics. mPhase is also targeting the nanobattery for use in technically-improved, lighter weight battery designs.
