Remember those Energizer Bunny commercials touting batteries that kept going, and going, and going?

Well, researchers at Washington State University have developed a new lithium ion battery that can actually keep going, and going, and going at about three times the current capacity.

As part of the Science + Technology Discovery Series of the Technology Alliance Program, WSU engineering professor Dr. M. Grant Norton will be speaking early Friday morning at The Rainier Club in Seattle to discuss his team’s potentially groundbreaking findings.

We got a chance to speak with Norton earlier this week to get a better idea of what he’ll be talking about. The current Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Materials Science has been a material science professor at WSU for over 20 years. His team has spent the past few years working on this new material and only the past 10 months actually building the battery.
