Solid-state batteries — the “always 5 years away” story: the headline specs are real, but the bottleneck is interfaces and large-area ceramic-separator manufacturing yield, not electrochemistry
Evidence-first notes on bioscience and deep tech, at the edge of the lab and the market. Information only — not investment advice. All energy-density, cycle-life and charge-rate figures are attributed to the specific cell, sample and test condition reported; many are company measurements, company roadmap targets or trade-press claims rather than independently replicated, automotive-qualified data…

The energy-storage landscape — the only chemistry that has won at the outcome layer is LFP; solid-state, sodium-ion and iron-air are still lab, sample and early-commercial
Evidence-first notes on bioscience and deep tech, at the edge of the lab and the market. Information only — not investment advice. All cell specifications, prices and deployment figures are attributed to the company, trial or agency that reported them (IEA, BloombergNEF/BNEF, DOE); many are company claims or agency projections rather than peer-reviewed or independently…

Three reactors went critical on deadline — but every one of them was zero-power
Evidence-first notes on bioscience and deep tech, at the edge of the lab and the market. Information only — not investment advice. The 30-second version What. The US Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program (created by Executive Order 14301) set a target of three advanced reactors reaching criticality by 4 July 2026, using a DOE…
