UH, Toyota researchers develop new cathode and electrolyte for high-power Mg battery rivaling Li-ion

Green Car Congress

The other circumvents the difficulties by storing magnesium cation in its complex forms. This new class of redox chemistry bypasses the need of solid-state intercalation while solely storing magnesium, instead of its complex forms, creating a new paradigm in magnesium battery electrode design. Neither approach is practical.

John Bardeen’s Terrific Transistorized Music Box

Cars That Think

The Spurlock Museum/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Bell Labs used one of the boxes to demonstrate the transistor’s portability. Bardeen brought his box to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, when he joined the faculty in 1951. The other two music boxes went to Bardeen and Brattain. Only Bardeen’s survives.
