In 2000, at a trade fair in Germany, an obscure Singapore company called Trek 2000 unveiled a solid-state memory chip encased in plastic and attached to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. Computer users badly needed a cheap, high-capacity, reliable, portable storage device. The thumb drive was all that—and more.

His original hypothesis, published in a 1965 Electronics magazine article , was that the number of transistors would double each year. From researcher to entrepreneur Moore received a bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1950 from the University of California, Berkeley. His projection came true over the decade that followed.

It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. AC Propulsion’s experiment was timely. After earning a Ph.D.

A team of researchers from Kyoto University has demonstrated ion-exchanged MgFeSiO 4 as a feasible cathode material for use in high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium batteries. Moreover, the terrestrial abundance and melting point of elemental magnesium by far surpass that of lithium, translating to a cheap and safe battery system.

Researchers at Stanford University, led by Dr. Yi Cui, have developed a method for pre-lithiating a silicon nanowire (SiNW) anode for use in a Li-ion battery. The Stanford team is proposing a facile method for prelithiating a Si nanowire (SiNW) anode by a self-discharge mechanism using cheap Li metal foil as the Li source.
