Sounds promising. How many days until big oil buys and kills it?

Donut Lab is Finnish, not American, which helps a bit. But the real point is that is doesn't matter now. There are at least a half a dozen Chinese manufacturers working on solid state batteries. Most of them are further ahead too. Big Oil™ won't be able to touch them, since renewable energy is a matter of national security for China (all their oil is imported).

Is there a technical article? This is a press release which is fine but it doesn't inform.

The cat is out of the bag. Manufacturers will be building their expertise. No one can stop this.
