From the creator

This video was created in partnership with Bill Gates, inspired by his new book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.” Find out more here: http://gatesnot.es/3qLlFgq Improving batteries is a tough problem, but it’s also an important one because in many ways the future of our planet also depends on the future of batteries. Luckily, scientists are on the case, figuring out ways to give this essential technology a power-up! Hosted by: Michael Aranda SciShow has a spinoff podcast! It's called SciShow Tangents.
