Another: Reduce the size of each droplet by 90% and increase the number of droplets, thus increasing total surface area.

Battery efficiency, lifespan and even safety could be vastly improved, the researchers believe, by increasing the surface area of the active materials that make up the battery electrodes.

During this ongoing process it separates into smaller and smaller particles, therefore increasing its initial surface area.

Airships demonstrate a law of increasing returns: doubling the length increases the surface area (and hence weight) by a factor of four while the volume (and hence lifting capacity) goes up by a factor of eight.

ECONOMIST: Pushing the envelope

This, in turn, means clever engineering can increase the surface area (and thus the storage capacity) without increasing the volume.

Thus, mangroves have lost 30 to 50% of their original surface area and coral reefs have regressed by 20%, increasing the vulnerability of densely populated coastal areas.
