Flying in the cold: The state of battery development for colder geographical eVTOL markets
Batteries are a central aspect of eVTOL technology, and in many places around the world where it’s cold for a substantial part of the year, how battery technologies will perform is a top concern.
Waiting for Superbatteries > They are still a long way from matching the energy density of liquid fuel
IF GRAIN MUST be dragged to market on an oxcart, how far can it go before the oxen eat up all the cargo? This, in brief, is the problem faced by any transportation system in which the vehicle must carry its own fuel. The key value is the density of energy, expressed with respect to either mass or volume.
Battery Maker Hires Its Wilson Sonsini Counsel As Legal VP
High energy battery maker Amprius Technologies Inc., which just became a public company in September, said Tuesday it has hired one of its outside counsel from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati…
BAE Systems and Amprius Explore Opportunities for Battery Technology
Amprius Technologies recently entered into an agreement with BAE Systems for a three-year cooperation. The companies will evaluate potential business opportunities for the silicon nanowire anode batteries developed by Amprius to be used in electric products developed by BAE Systems. Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius, remarked on the new cooperation agreement, saying, “BAE Systems is at the technological forefront of the defense industry, and this agreement validates the potential of our silicon nanowire anode technology for rigorous aerial applications.”
