The thing about batteries is that those big discoveries in the lab take a long time to reach the market. By the time they do reach the market, they're just an incremental improvement over all the other big discoveries that are already in production.
So we never seem to get a dramatic breakthrough, but what we do get is steady improvement over the course of decades. And that's why we have electric cars now with ranges over 400 miles, while back in 1996 the EV1 had 70 to 100 miles.
I think cancer treatments are pretty much the same.
