加州少女發明超級充電器：20秒充滿一部手機！

A California teen has attracted the attention of tech giants Google for her potentially revolutionary invention which charges a phone in 20 seconds flat.
美國加州的一個少女由於她革命性的潛在發明而吸引了科技巨頭谷歌的關注，這項發明有可能會讓手機在20秒內充滿電。

The super-fast charging device has been dubbed a supercapacitor by 18-year-old Esha Khare, of Saratoga - as she took home $50,000 from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which took place in Phoenix this week.
發明這種快速手機充電器的是來自美國薩拉託加的18歲少女伊莎-卡瑞，她將其稱爲超級電容器。本週，她因爲此項發明在菲尼克斯獲得了由英特爾國際科學工程大獎賽授予的5萬美金獎勵。

The device will make waiting hours for a phone to charge a thing of the past and the gizmo packs more energy into a smaller space than traditional phone batteries and holds the charge for longer.
該設備有可能讓數小時的手機充電成爲過去，並且這項發明比傳統手機電池能夠在更小空間存儲更多的電量，並使被充電的設備能使用更長時間。

So far, Khare has only used her supercapacitor to power a light-emitting diode or LED - but she sees a bright future that one day will see her invention powering cellphones, cars and any gadget that requires a rechargeable battery.
到目前爲止，卡瑞只有她的超級電容器給發光二極管充電嘗試過——但她的這項發明前景非常光明：有一天這一發明將可以用於手機、汽車或任何使用充電式電池的設備。

Heading to Harvard, Khare told CBS San Francisco that this is only the start and that she will 'be setting the world on fire' from here.
即將前往哈佛大學就讀的的卡瑞告訴哥倫比亞廣播公司，這只是開始，而且她將從此“令全世界瘋狂”。

'My cellphone battery always dies,' she told NBC News when asked what inspired her to work on the energy-storage technology.
“我的手機電源總是用光，” 當被問及什麼激發了她從事於儲能科技研究時，她這樣告訴全美廣播公司。

Specializing in nanochemistry allowed Khare to reduce the size of her invention. ' Really working at the nanoscale to make significant advances in many different fields.'
納米化學系出身，卡瑞可以利用專業知識縮小其發明的體積。“使用納米技術可以在許多領域做出巨大成就。”

The supercapacitor is flexible and tiny, and is able to handle 10,000 recharge cycles, more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.
這種超級電容器非常靈活，體型迷你，且能夠處理1萬個充電回數，比普通電池多了10倍。

How an 18-year-old girl has managed to figure out something that multi-national corporations have not has led to her being flooded with offers for her amazing leap forward.
一個18歲的女孩如何能想出這麼多跨國公司都沒想到的東西，她的神奇發明已經已經吸引了很多公司找上門。

Google have been in contact with Khare to explore how she plans to change the makeup of cell phone battery life.
目前谷歌公司已與卡瑞取得聯繫，試圖探索她對於新發明改變手機電池壽命的計劃。
