this is one of the bigger changes in battery tech i've read in a while. i'm curious about their beef aerogel tho. i have no personal problem using it (beef is going to be used, regardless, so ethically we should not waste the beef we're producing) but i would love to see this battery tech become vegan. in part so i can calm the little part of my conscious, and in part so we don't have to have an ethical debate about batteries.

Per the article they are working on that, which is good since cattle farming is not exactly eco friendly.

The researchers are currently investigating the use of other metals with this nanocluster fabrication technique. They are also testing natural polymers as more abundant replacements for bovine proteins to facilitate potential manufacturing.
