The unique advantage of this new approach is "combine the energy density advantage of battery with the power density of super capacitor". Although its energy density is only half of Li-ion battery, but still good among traditional batteries, but its power density has surpassed that of super capacitor. It is a super power dense battery. It is promising in the area where long discharge time and very high power output are required.
The linked article requires subscription to read, so I can't find anything else regarding the highlighted text.
My question is "why can't Intel sue AMD in a U.S. court?" The supposed violation by AMD happens in China, therefor giving Chinese court the jurisdiction, in other words Intel can go there to sue AMD but may not work well for Intel. But as AMD is a company headquartered in the U.S.. U.S. court also has the jurisdiction to the dispute, EXCEPT if there is a specific legal provision in U.S. or an international treaty that dedicates such dispute ONLY to the place of violation wherever that may be.
Does anybody know?
I kind of partially answer my question.
The issue is that in this case as the "violation" happens in China, Chinese court has the priority jurisdiction before any U.S. court. Only if the Chinese court voluntarily pass on that would U.S. court be able to take the case. That kind of "pass" does happen but unlikely to happen in this scenario. Intel knows that even it wins the case in a U.S. court, without the consent of Chinese court, it won't be able to enforce the verdict in China.

China’s breathtaking transformation into a scientific superpower
By Robert J. Samuelson January 21
The National Science Foundation and the National Science Board have just released their biennial “Science & Engineering Indicators,” a voluminous document describing the state of American technology. There are facts and figures on research and development, innovation and engineers. But the report’s main conclusion lies elsewhere: China has become — or is on the verge of becoming — a scientific and technical superpower.
We should have expected nothing less. After all, science and technology constitute the knowledge base for economically advanced societies and military powers, and China aspires to become the world leader in both. Still, the actual numbers are breathtaking for the speed with which they’ve been realized.
Remember that a quarter-century ago, China’s economy was tiny and its high-tech sector barely existed. Since then, here’s what’s happened, according to the “Indicators” report:
● China has become the second- largest R&D spender, accounting for 21 percent of the world total of nearly $2 trillion in 2015. Only the United States, at 26 percent, ranks higher, but if present growth rates continue, China will soon become the biggest spender. From 2000 to 2015, Chinese R&D outlays grew an average of 18 percent annually, more than four times faster than the U.S. rate of 4 percent.
● There has been an explosion of technical papers by Chinese teams. Although the United States and the European Union each produce more studies on biomedical subjects, China leads in engineering studies. American papers tend to be cited more often than the Chinese papers , suggesting that they involve more fundamental research questions, but China is catching up.
● China has dramatically expanded its technical workforce. From 2000 to 2014, the annual number of science and engineering bachelor’s degree graduates went from about 359,000 to 1.65 million. Over the same period, the comparable number of U.S. graduates went from about 483,000 to 742,000.
Not only has Chinese technology expanded. It has also gotten more ambitious. Much of China’s high-tech production once consisted of assembling sophisticated components made elsewhere. Now, says the report, it’s venturing into demanding areas “such as supercomputers and smaller jetliners.”
Of course, there are qualifications. China still lags in patents received. Over the past decade, American firms and inventors account for about half the U.S. patents annually, and most of the rest go to Europeans and Japanese. Recall also that China’s population of 1.4 billion is more than four times ours; not surprisingly, it needs more scientists, engineers and technicians.
In a sane world — shorn of nationalistic, economic, racial and ethnic conflicts — none of this would be particularly alarming. Technology is mobile, and gains made in China could be enjoyed elsewhere, and vice versa. But in our contentious world, China’s technological prowess is potentially threatening, as the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a congressional watchdog group, has often pointed out.
One danger is military. If China makes a breakthrough in a crucial technology — satellites, missiles, cyberwarfare, artificial intelligence, electromagnetic weapons — the result could be a major shift in the strategic balance and, possibly, war.
Even if this doesn’t happen, warns the commission, China’s determination to dominate new industries such as artificial intelligence, telecommunications and computers could lead to economic warfare if China maintains subsidies and discriminatory policies to sustain its firms’ competitive advantage.
“Industries like computing, robotics, and biotechnology are pillars of U.S. economic competitiveness, sustaining and creating millions of high-paying jobs and high-value-added exports,” the commission said in its latest annual report. “The loss of global leadership in these future drivers of global growth” would weaken the American economy. Chinese theft of U.S. industrial trade secrets compounds the danger.

The best response to this technological competition is to reinvigorate America’s own technological base. For example: Overhaul immigration to favor high-skilled newcomers, not relatives of previous immigrants; raise defense spending on new technologies to counter China; increase other federal spending on “basic research.” (Government provides most of the money for this research, which is the quest for knowledge for its own sake, and amazingly has cut spending in recent years).
“We are involved in a global race for knowledge,” said France Córdova, head of the NSF. “We may be the innovation leader today, but other countries are rapidly gaining ground.”
It is hardly surprising that China has hitched its economic wagon to advanced technologies. What is less clear and more momentous is our willingness and ability to recognize this and do something about it.

One of the reason is declining interest in STEM among young people in US. they are now into mind numbing reality show, sports, youtuber etc
America just slid out of the top 10 in this innovation ranking
South Korea stays in lead, Singapore surges
By ASIA TIMES STAFF JANUARY 24, 2018 4:34 AM (UTC+8)
For the first time since the ranking has been compiled, the US has fallen out of the top 10 in . South Korea and Sweden retained the top two spots, while Singapore jumped three places to No 3.
The ranking uses seven criteria, including research-and-development spending and concentration of high-tech public companies.
Education was cited as the main reason for the US falling to 11th place, with the share of new science and engineering graduates in the labor force weighing on the score. Value-added manufacturing also fell from the year before.
While the US slacked in the education department, it was one of the reasons that China jumped two places to rank 19th. The criterion was also a reason for Singapore’s climb.
America’s slide, following a lack of interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) majors among the country’s student population, does not show signs of letting up, according to some. And it is not just lagging with regard to education.
“I see no evidence to suggest that this trend will not continue,” Robert D Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation in Washington, DC, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying. “Other nations have responded with smart, well-funded innovation policies like better R&D tax incentives, more government funding for research, more funding for technology commercialization initiatives.”

I read before that a significant number of the engineers in Silicon Valley's counterpart in Shenzhen worked in Silicon Valley first and many of them faced the glass ceiling hence why they're in Shenzhen now. You see Shenzhen companies now on par in value with their Silicon Valley counterparts. Large numbers of Asian engineers in Silicon Valley yet not proportional when it comes to management and executive positions. Does Silicon Valley think twice about its unofficial discrimination against Asians? I suspect no because of this very culture in general that's being criticized and talked about. And its that arrogance on why they think they would automatically succeed in China if they were able to have free unrestricted access there. They think these engineers that have gone to Shenzhen would not have the same success in the US. That's probably true but they arrogantly don't apply that logic on themselves when thinking they would succeed in China. What apps that succeed in China might not succeed in the US and vice versa because they're based on cultural needs. But the culture in Silicon Valley is an American culture where they believe they're the king of the world so they don't need to adjust or adapt to others. The world has to adjust to them. And that's their flaw because you see it in Shenzhen where no where else in the world even Western Europe has a rival to Silicon Valley. They say Silicon Valley is about the programming and Shenzhen is the hardware. But Shenzhen is also programming. They don't recognize it because they make apps for the Chinese in China yet those companies are up their in value with Silicon Valley giants.
There was another king of the mountain in history in the US auto industry. No one could match them and they express it by making cars they wanted and expected consumers to buy it. And then the Japanese came along and knocked them off their perched because they made cars consumers wanted and not just what some executive wanted.

I sincerely hope that every form of discrimination against Asians in high tech industries in the US is magnified to remind everyone to return home and serve his own country. Some people are book smart but have a very low EQ so they need very obvious reminders. It pains me to see Chinese who think that they are or can become American and end up working to bolster the rival country of their true home country.
