It solves the chicken-egg problem by having a critical mass of EVs to justify a critical mass of chargers. On street parking can be done rectified (in theory) via inductive/wireless charging fed from a solar energy source.

We have not solved the Navier-Stokes equation for non general cases. This equations describes how the velocity, pressure, temperature, and density of a moving fluid are related. If everything was already answered, then why offer $1M to solv

Feyman Nano is not doing anything new or innovative. In the materials world this is old technology with a very old spin.

This isn't as juvenile as a dislike. I spent my PhD on the technology for this company and licensed it from a tier 1 university and started the company. This individual (hindsight is 20/20) coerced me to make probably the worst de

I think this applies closely. I am surprised that the tendency to compulsively lie is not also in the Wikipedia definition.

I tend to agree. What is most infuriating this person is just not smart enough to be a good psychopath, if there is such a thing as a "good psychopath". His lies just put him into a smaller and smaller box. And not trying to be an

That is a good point. It is more of a spectrum. I try not to use this term lightly but I have never met a person with such a disregard for their own equity. They boost their ego by constantly speaking about themselves in a grandiose way, ye

Well to be frank, I am sharing an experience dealing with a problem member in a 5 person startup. You are correct it is an anecdote. One I want to share in hopes no one has to go through a similar issue. Your victimization does not mean eve

The global energy storage market is and will continue to be driven by electric vehicles (no pun intended!) and consumer electronics. For these applications a faster charge/discharge is nice to have, a non-flammable material is nice to

I believe we will see it much earlier than 2020. The DOE has mandated that they want to see lithium-ion batteries 5X in capacity and 5X cheaper by 2020. I think it can be done. If would happen much faster if we manufactured here and did not

Unfortunately, there are several items that interfere with maximizing the 10X. Then anode is only ~16% of the entire battery, so increasing the anode energy density by 10X does not translate directly to 10X battery life. You must also consi

Battery innovation is actually bottle-necked by the fact that over 90% of all anode materials are produced in China. So global adoption is ultimately dictated if manufacturing in China follows suit. Unlike Americans, where we innovate with
