In a groundbreaking development, scientists have created a record-breaking smartphone charger that can fully power up a device in less than five minutes.

As our smartphones become increasingly capable of handling a wide array of tasks, the demand for faster charging solutions has never been greater. This new innovation, developed by Chinese researchers from the electronics company Realme, could be the answer.
