Emerging Technology Project Part 1

High-Speed Materials Discovery This article was about finding different types of minerals for batteries rather than the old lithium-ion phosphate batteries. It stated that lithium cobalt phosphate boost energy density by three times more than the lithium-ion phosphate batteries. They also built a machine called bobcat that can test over 3,000 combinations of different minerals each week to find the best combination. This can lead to more energy being stored in a single battery in the future. Once they isolate the best combination we could have batteries storing more than 100 times what the original batter can hold. Even though that’s a big maybe, but if you think about it just 100 years earlier we just built an airplane. Back in 2009 we were working on a personal assistance helper. Now we have SIRI in all of our iPhones. Technology has come so far.
