Re: https://www.csiro.au/en/news/All/News/2026/March/Quantum-battery-full-cycle

The Australian government (mostly LNP) in continued escalation of its Neoliberal capitalist push cut massive amounts of funding to its premier science research institute. This effectively privatises any research for-profit-only.

The CSIRO have developed proof-of-concept quantum batteries, and are now "seeking interest from potential development partners." ie, private investment for the future of these batteries.

Australian scientists achieve energy storage and quantum battery breakthrough

Researchers develop the first quantum battery that could pave the way for long- distance charging of devices and super-fast charging of electric cars.
