the article is not about technology.
- credit_guy 3y agoIt's still quite important news. The funding was 1. significant ($400 MM), 2. coming from the Department of Energy. The DoE has a lot of scientists who know everything there is to know about energy (well, also about nuclear weapons). In the space of new battery tech, you read almost on a daily basis about some new breakthrough technology. It's hard to decide what has a chance and what doesn't. We've all gotten jaded by the infinite number of claims of battery tech revolutions, that never turned into anything. The fact that the DoE invests $400 MM in this technology is, in my opinion, quite some validation. And that's news.
