Would you be OK with a Semi Solid State?

Solid State batteries...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! Sick of hearing about them? Well, that's understandable. They've been 'on the horizon' for far too long, haven't they? But the big dogs of the battery industry are now telling tell us they've come up with a neat solution to get these things onto the market and into our electric vehicles. That solution is 'Semi-Solid-State' chemistry. So, what's the difference and when will we get them?

the great thing about science is that sometimes you make a mistake that opens up a whole new area of research

I'll be honest Dave, I'm very surprised you don't have FAR more subscribers already! I shall pass the word. 🙂

Small comment. The red border at the bottom of your thumbnail looks just like the 'watched' line that YouTube puts there. I passed this one up at first thinking I'd already watched it until I saw the time stamp and knew I couldn't have.

[footshotstube]

blimey, so ive been watching you compete easily against ai videos with bad science, or infamous news channels . Being a safe go to for over 6 yrs is worthy of a quality award surely!

[MarinusMakesStuff]

The way I see it now is that nothing 'is it' or 'the answer'. Everything we do is just a step to the next best thing. So we better make sure there's always an improvement somewhere. There's no endgame, it's just the next step, forever, always :)

Listening to your voice has a calming, reassuring effect on me.
Thank you for your work!

I, personally, don't care if they use mustard and peanut butter- as long as it works!

[emceeboogieboots]

Congrats on half a million mate🍻
I look forward to every one of your videos, so I hope to see you hit a million subs soon

Wild to see that we're impressed with $845m investment (8:35). That is literally less than 1% of Apple's profit. US big tech should be plowing a sizable portion of profits into developing new technologies like this rather than doing share buybacks. The big company CEOs lack vision and drive for breaking into new industries that will be critical to maintaining a healthy world for future generations.

You'll have 600, 000 subscribers in two shakes of a Semi-Solid bunny's tail! This channel helps us understand the differences between this and that thing, so we can sound Semi-Solidly educated!

I read the title...felt my midriff in solidarity and started watching👍

0:30 bang on . this has gone the way of fusion. 'on the horizon' for far too long

[jasonbelanger]

What matters is energy density and safety, not whether it's solid or semisolid.

[kickmonlee]

idk how i havent been subscribed. ive been watching for quite a while. good reminder

[rebokfleetfoot]

as far as i can see it is solid electrolyte intended to provide gap against the dendrites, not a new idea, but if they are actually making them, thumbs up for them!

[injest]

It doesn't matter if its semi or solid, it's how you use it.

[hendrikwirtz]

The way is the destination. Every step forward counts.
