Researchers used AI to design a new material that they used to build a working battery – it requires up to 70 percent less lithium than some competing designs.
Yeah, that’s been my take on pretty much every single battery article I’ve read, going back to the 90s. like 2 out of 100s has actually come to market.
Tech like this needs to perform well, be economical, and scalable for manufacturing. Articles come out usually when tech hits the first one or two, but very rarely do all 3 end up true.
But the ones currently in commercial production didn’t come out of nowhere. There were lots of incremental improvements that didn’t make headlines. What you see in tech articles is just a thin slice of the whole story.
I can only read until the paywall, however in the preview they mention they still contain lithium.
The solid state batteries I, I think Panasonic is working on, have no Lithium they use glass instead of an electrolyte.
This is like the third different new battery technology I’ve seen today.
I’ll believe it when it’s available for purchase.

it took 9 months of lab work (by actual skilled material scientists) to make it tick, don’t hold your breath
Yeah and I don’t really want to hear about it unless it’s progress solid state batteries.
If you read the short article it says the material is a solid electrolyte

Maybe don’t come to technology subs if you hate tech news? I guess you’re just here for the Elon posts or something?
