The dry room at Solid Power's Louisville, Colorado, facility is abrasively bright, and yet the low, encompassing hum of the fans and chillers is oddly soothing. It's here in the humidity- and contaminant-free production area where Solid Power produced their first full-size solid-state lithium-metal battery cells. The cells, a shining silver contrast to their surroundings, were a moonshot.
The technology, in theory, sounded too good to be true: a 10x jump in power (or 10x drop in size) from traditional lithium-ion cells. Solid Power was aiming for more modest gains in its first prototypes, but could still see an 80 percent improvement in the near future. Then on August 7, 2021, three engineers donned protective Tyvek "bunny suits," entered the dry room, and drew voltage from the largest prototype lithium-metal battery to date.
Josh Buettner-Garrett, Solid Power's chief technology officer, monitored from his office. He felt confident, but a little apprehensive: "We knew we could make something that looked like a battery cell, but there was still a chance we'd have a brick."

From slicing onions to crushing garlic, these are the best stainless-steel blades for the job. When you want to capture some footage—whether in case of an accident or just for your own memories—turn to one of these. Tesla quietly offered a new, cheaper battery chemistry. These iconic games, from the storied Halo to retro classics, will entertain players of all ages and abilities. It's a holiday shopping miracle. |
