Michigan spin-out Elegus announces lithium battery breakthrough using Kevlar nanofibers.
Elegus Technologies, a spin-out of Michigan University, has revealed a breakthrough in the production of lithium batteries.
Using a barrier made out of Kevlar nanofibers, the design solves the problem of unwanted flow of electrical current. One potential use of the breakthrough could resolve a problem with Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which are currently grounded after it was discovered its battery system was prone to fires.
The company is planning to open a manufacturing facility in Michigan, and aims to…
