The traditional design paradigm for Li-ion battery cathodes has been to create compounds in which the amount of extractable Li + is well balanced with an oxidizable transition metal (TM) species (such as Mn, Fe, Co or Ni) to provide the charge-compensating electrons, all contained in an oxide or sulfide host. —Gerbrand Ceder.

This is cool looking, but I'd need to know more about how this system can deal with an actual lunar environment, right?

For 15 years, my team at the University of Göttingen, in Germany, has been collaborating with colleagues at the University of Freiburg and beyond to reinvent the cochlear implant in a strikingly counterintuitive way: using light. Then, people all over the world could begin to hear the light. The first device was approved by the U.S.

This left the magnetic amplifier to play only minor roles, such as for light dimmers in theaters.

The answer depends in part on whether such cars require a type of sensor called lidar, short for “light detection and ranging.” We and others at our company, Analog Photonics , which spun out of MIT in 2016, hope to break this impasse. It has no moving parts and generates, emits, and receives light with no external hardware.
