We batteries our pockets, on our wrists, and in all our devices every day, but lithium ion is dangerous old technology… so what’s next? 💪Learning is easy with Skillshare, get two months free with my link here: https://skl.sh/unodosoftrace7 (and the free trial supports the show!)💪 I’ve gone on record for YEARS stating again and again that #batteries suck, but I was wrong. Batteries don’t suck. They aren’t stagnant, it’s just a trick of #technology that makes us think so. This time, I looked into several battery technologies (new and old) to try and catch a glimpse of the future technology that will power our cars, phones, computers and lives.

I mean it’s literally arbitrary, but, like, lots of people FEEL like moving from a year with a nine to a year with a zero is a big deal. In the 2010s we saw LEAPS in technology, no matter what some science teams will tell you, we’re making updates and changes every year -- but most of them are now behind the scenes. I hope you’ve had a wonderful start to 2020 and that it’s going to be a GREAT YEAR. P.P.S — Did you know when your phone is DEAD it’s not actually DEAD? “The real sweet spot for a battery is [a] 50 percent charge as that means that half of its moveable lithium ions are in the lithium cobalt oxide layer and the other half are in the graphite layer.” actual quote from researcher. I just wanted to say one last thank you for supporting me on this science communication journey! 💖 I literally could not do this without you. - #tracedominguez
