Its technology vaporizes germanium sulfide and cools it into 20-30 nanometer layers that, as they're combined, turn into nanoflowers: elegant structures that might look like the carnation on a prom dress or tuxedo, but are really energystorage cells with much more capacity than traditional cells occupying the same area.
The automakers need to come out with battery packs that can retain a greater percentage of their storagecapacity for longer, cost half as much, and have improved energy density, so that they can serve many driving cycles.
