    How can a battery be solid state, I don’t understand what that means in this context.

      You basically replace the liquid electrolyte with a solid one. Wikipedia article about it.

      Here’s an article about Samsung’s battery, and I’m sure we’ll hear a lot more about them in the coming years.

      current lithium batts are a submersion layer stacking inside of an electrolyte, solid state removes the electrolyte for a “dry” approach, which is in this case, solid state. I’m guessing it’s referring to the movement of ions (is that the right term?) through the electrolyte, which is a mechanical process (technically) but i don’t know fuck about battery chemistry so dont quote me.
