Battery legend Goodenough not done yet: new solid-state chemistry introduced

Lithium-ion battery-cell chemistry is currently dominant in electric cars, not to mention consumer electronics and other fields.John Goodenough, a 94-year-old professor at the University of Texas Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering—and the co-inventor of the lithium-ion cell—recently led a team that developed what is purported to be a better alternative.As discussed in a paper published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science (via Scientific American), Goodenough and hi
