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.
