The Israeli tech scene just keeps chucking out complete marvels. The latest hot tech tool from Tel Aviv is a battery that can fully charge a dead mobile phone in under half a minute.

Start-up StoreDot believes it should be able to integrate the battery within a smartphone within a year, and have a โ€œcommercially ready deviceโ€ ready to take to market in three years.

The battery uses the โ€œfirst bio-organic nano crystal ever discoveredโ€, its website explains.

StoreDotโ€™s device currently takes the shape of a โ€œbattery pack the size of a cigarette packetโ€, the BBC reports, which is then connected to the phone.

In a demo at a tech conference in Tel Aviv, this device charged up the Samsung S4 from dead to full power in a staggering 26 seconds.

StoreDot explains its technology thus: โ€œStoreDotย is a company with a ground-breaking technology, based on its discovery of new generation, self-assembledย Nanodotsย of biological origin. [โ€ฆ]

โ€œThese nano- crystals are uniform in size, two nanometers in diameter, and consist of bioorganic peptide molecules. They possess multi-functional intrinsic properties such as: unique fluorescence within the visible region; electrochemical, charge trapping, piezoelectric, nonlinear optical and others.โ€

StoreDot believes its โ€œbioorganicย Nanodotsย have the potential to enhance current technologies of smartphones and TV displays, batteries, bio-LEDs, and bio-lasersโ€.

โ€œFurthermore, their biocompatibility presents a unique opportunity to apply them in nanomedicinalย technology, drug delivery, food security labeling and more.โ€

Exciting stuff.
