    So I guess it's time for an #introduction.

    @CathyBikesBook I’ll talk Knicks with you any time. They were my team since before Ewing. I switched allegiances in the Paul Pierce era since I moved to MA then. But I can talk Trent Tucker and Bill Cartwright all day.

    Solid state batteries are now a reality – better in ALL ways than Lithium-Ion

    Donut Lab introduced what it claims is the world’s first commercially available all-solid-state battery at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, marking a pivotal moment in the decade-long race to bring the promising technology from laboratory prototypes to real-world vehicles. The phone-sized battery cells are already powering the Verge TS Pro electric motorcycle, which enters production this quarter.Higher density (400 Wh/kg)Faster charging (potentially in 5 to 10 minutes)Full charge (no longer needing to limit to 80%)Safer (No flammable liquid electrolytes, No thermal runaway chains, No metallic dendrites that can cause internal shorts)Good for 100,000 cycles (high-end Lithium-Ion is about 5,000 cycles).But there is more, at −30 °C and even over 100 °C , they can retain over 99% of their capacity. The usual issue has also been cost, but it is claimed now that without using rare earth minerals, material costs are actually lower than Lithium-Ion too.It still does not stop there though, as these batteries are not created in the cell shapes that Lithium-Ion were, and which required products to conform to the shape of the battery. These solid state batteries behave like clay, so custom sizes, voltages, and geometries are now possible.This also means that these are not only for vehicles but can potentially work in phones and micro-electronics.A solid-state battery uses a solid material (like a ceramic or special polymer) to conduct electricity between its positive and negative sides, instead of the liquid or gel electrolyte found in regular lithium-ion electric vehicle (EV) batteries.As regards a reality check, Verge’s TS Pro motorcycle is being launched now with one of these Donut solid state batteries. Range has increased from the older battery types having 350 km, to now up 600 km, with a charging time of 10 minutes. We will have to see the road tests later in 2026, but if so, then solid state batteries will truly be a game changer. Given the range and the charge cycles, that means the battery will be good for about 60 million kms. That is way more than any combustion engine is ever going to last.See donutlab.com/battery and newatlas.com/motorcycles/verge…#Blog, #batteries, #environment, #EV, #technology

    An #introduction. I’ve never done one. (Didn’t think I’d stick around long enough to make it worth the bother, but here I am 3 years later.)I’m a 75yo white guy, retired, married 50+ years, w/ shallow knowledge of lots of things, deep interest in all kinds of science. Humor is my guiding light thru the shadows. I post/boost stuff & follow folks that I find interesting, compelling, important, idiotic, funny, weird, jejeune, and puerile, not necessarily in that order. Also some of my photos.

    @iftas hello, I am a blind Fediverse user and I could not fill in the survey about moderation because the form builder you used is not completely accessible -radio buttons aren't screen reader friendly-.

    @talksina hi Elena. I have constructed a partial form to test if this is usable or not. I've numbered the questions and written out either the optional answers or written a line for you to type in your answer.If you don't mind, try this text file, tell me if I should continue or make any changes to my approach. If it's good like this I will send a second file with the rest of the questions, if not I will happily make any changes.The file is a plain text file at https://about.iftas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/partial_IFTAS_form.txt
