    I wish I had gone to a school with the sort of equipment that allowed this sort of development. That is not to say I would have done something this awesome... but would have been nice if they had... you know... a computer at least.

    This girl developed a micro supercapacitor. What will that do? Charge your cell phone in 20 seconds. Charge your laptop in a few minutes. Allow wind technology to overcharge... and eventually? Probably draw BIG energy from lightning. There is no limit to what this little bit of magic could do.

    Go on with your bad self girl... dump Harvard and go MIT.
