Nicknamed “fuzzy fiber” by its inventor at UDRI, Nano Adaptive Hybrid Fabric (NAHF-XTM) is the first tailored nanomaterial capable of being produced in sizes and quantities large enough to make them affordable and viable for large-scale commercial use. This is going to disrupt the way we think about materials. Brian Rice.

Conversely, high coating thicknesses for the electrodes produce a high energy density. That is making electric mobility affordable for more and more customers. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. The tanks can store around five kilograms (11.0
