An Indian-American teen has invented a ’20-second’ mobile charger. 18-year-old Eesha Khare, from Saratoga, California, has invented a super-capacitor device that could potentially charge your cellphone in less than 20 seconds.
She was awarded the Young Scientist Award by the Intel Foundation after developing the tiny device that fits inside mobile phone batteries, and could allow them to charge within 20-30 seconds.
