IBM develops air-breathing batteries, aims for 500 miles on a single charge

An air-breathing battery that can power cars for more than 500 miles on a single charge. Quite unreal isn't it. But that's exactly what IBM is trying to achieve. In 2009, IBM embarked on a quest dubbed as the “Battery 500 Project”. Essentially, the project's main objective is to develop a new kind of battery that will be enough to operate a car for half a thousand miles. And the result is a light-weight, ultra high-density lithium-air battery that actually breathes air. How? It's not that simple.
