A Battery Breakthrough Inspired by a Can of Compressed Air
A UC San Diego engineering alumnus reflects on how a chance curiosity about a can of compressed air, along with support across campus, fueled an innovation in battery technology. … We also used neighboring labs at UC Irvine for their TEM [transmission electron microscope] characterization as well. [The UC Irvine Materials Research Institute is supported in part by the NSF.] So it wasn’t only at UC San Diego, but also the network within the UC system that really helped us along.
