Imagine having an Ipod or laptop that runs on gasoline and gets 10 times more run time than a battery. Well its just around the corner.

MIT researchers are putting a tiny gas-turbine engine inside a silicon chip about the size of a quarter. The resulting device could run 10 times longer than a battery of the same weight can, powering laptops, cell phones, radios and other electronic devices.

Now you can polute with your Ipod!
