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. Once electricity is generated and passes into the grid, it is typically used almost immediately. After earning a Ph.D.

Researchers from Tohoku University, Japan, have developed novel ultrathin Li 2 MnSiO 4 nanosheets for use as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. For the study published in Nano Letters, they synthesized Li 2 MSiO 4 nanosheets by a rapid one-pot supercritical fluid reaction using a mixed solvent of aqueous ethanol.
