A California teen has attracted the attention of tech giants Google for her potentially revolutionary invention which charges a phone in 20 seconds flat, reported by CNN news.

The 18-year-old Esha Khare, a senior at Lynbrook High School in Saratoga, invented super-fast charging device and took home 50,000 dollars from the International Science and Engineering Fair, which took place in Phoenix this week.

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.

When NBC News asked her why she chose to research technology around energy-storage, she simply explained, "My cell phone battery always dies."

After winning one of the two Intel Young Scientist Awards, Eesha Khare is planning on putting her 50,000 dollar prize toward her education at Harvard. “I will be setting the world on fire,” she said.
