XNRGI (exponential energy) has developed the first-ever porous silicon chip based Lithium Metal rechargeable battery technology. XNRGI’s 15 patented technologies and 12 pending patents, were developed over a 15-year period with more than $80-million of investment from Intel, Motorola, Energizer, the United States Navy, and Novellus Systems, among others. XNRGI’s technologies enable scalable, high-volume manufacturing at the industry’s lowest cost, by using existing semiconductor wafer manufacturing and contract assembly which have been perfected in Silicon Valley over the past 20 years. This combination of original technologies and proven manufacturing processes provides XNRGI with an unprecedented manufacturing scale and at a low cost with minimal capex.
XNRGI's Solution to Anode Limitation
Anode is limiting the industry. XNRGI has solved that limitation using lithium metal anode.

XNRGI (exponential energy) has developed the first-ever porous silicon chip based Lithium Metal rechargeable battery technology. XNRGI’s award-winning technologies enable scalable, high-volume manufacturing at the industry’s lowest cost, by using existing semiconductor wafer manufacturing and contract assembly.
With 15 Patented Technologies, 12 Patents Pending, and 15 years of development with investment and grants from Intel, Motorola, Energizer, the United States Navy, the US Department of Energy, and others, XNRGI has developed the only battery architecture that can be used from micro batteries (for the Internet of Things) to cell phones, large drones, and grid scale applications.
XNRGI creates, demonstrates, builds and manages energy ecosystems with OEMs, systems integrators and developers to power a sustainable future
EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED - ( It would be hard to say this is not NPWZ but hard to say because of the lack of reporting.. However the group that may have been behind the lack of reporting Mr. Mays...and the Schickman...seem to be gone, now maybe we get some real news..)
Humans rely on primarily two things to control their environment: information and energy. Shrinking transistors and the rise of microprocessors have given us immense control over the first; however, the bottleneck has been cheap scalable and portable storage for sensors, cars, consumer electronics and the grid.

It says they are using the same model, meaning high volume manufacturing to customer specification, NOT that they are manufacturing semi-conductors.

https://www.eetasia.com/news/article/globalfoundries-builds-12-in-wafer-fab-in-china
Globalfoundries’ Fab 8 in Malta, N.Y., on Wednesday. We observed a very crowded and active campus. There is clearly a lot of activity underway, with equipment move-ins and the 14 nm process ramp-up being the focus. We expect equipment installations to increase over the next two quarters, which should benefit Nanometrics ( NANO ), Lam Research ( LRCX ), Applied Materials ( AMAT ), KLA-Tencor ( KLAC ) and ASML Holding ( ASML ). We would be buyers of Nanometrics on foundry share gains, including at Globalfoundries, and buyers of Lam Research and Applied Materials related to general market-expansion trends and attractive valuation.
While Intel, Samsung and SK Hynix have been making chips in wholly owned fabs in China for some time, TSMC pioneered the way for a foundry with its 16nm fab in Nanjing. “Morris Chang specifically cited the need to have continued access to the Chinese market as the reason for constructing TSMC's new 300mm fab in China,” McClean said, calling such deals “an insurance policy for IC producers.”
“China’s electronics industry and fabless community is growing leaps and bounds, so having a fab brings scale to an area where you must be close to your customers,” said G. Dan Hutcheson, president of VLSI Research.
McClean of IC Insights characterised the other moves as more technology upgrades than expansions. He estimates GlobalFoundries, which is privately held, lost nearly $2 billion in 2016 on sales of $5.5 billion, making it a distant second to TSMC with profits of about $10 billion on sales of about $30 billion in 2016.
“Currently, GlobalFoundries is losing money and is working at low utilisation levels, somewhere in the high 70% range,” he said. “They don't need a lot of capacity but some of their older capacity is unlikely to be able to produce the devices they need, so I think a lot of this expansion is really being driven by technology upgrades,” he said.
The Abu Dhabi investment group backing the foundry from its creation as a spin out from AMD has “been very patient…and it looks like that patience will continue for at least another few years,” he added.
“My sense is that [the foundry] definitely has a positive free cash flow to justify the investment—plus, their customer base is expanding,” said Hutcheson of VLSI Research. “I take the announcement to be a positive sign that they are growing,” he said.

(Reuters) - Lam Research Corp (LRCX.O), a supplier of wafer fabrication equipment, agreed to buy smaller rival Novellus Systems Inc NVLS.O for $3.3 billion in stock as it looks to gain cutting-edge technology and become more efficient.
The deal is the latest acquisition in the semiconductor industry as manufacturers and chip-gear makers wrestle with cutthroat competition, waning PC sales growth and a weak economy.
Under agreement's terms, Novellus stockholders will receive 1.125 shares of Lam Research common stock for each Novellus share held, or a 28 percent premium to the stock's close on Wednesday on Nasdaq.
"If you look at the current environment, there's lots of uncertainty. If anything this deal comes at a good time because it's at an inflection point for the next upturn," said Stifel Nicolaus analyst Patrick Ho.
Ho said that at 2.3 times 12-month sales, Lam is paying a reasonable price for Novellus and much less than the 4.5 times that leading chip-gear maker Applied Materials paid for Variant earlier this year.
Lam's leadership in etch and single-wafer clean equipment aligns with Novellus' specialization in thin-film deposition and surface preparation technologies, the two companies said in a statement.
The combined company will be well-positioned to lead the industry through critical technology transitions including 3D structures in advanced logic and NAND memory as well as the scaling to 450 millimeter wafers, they said.
German battery consortium TerraE is using the same model as the semiconductor foundry business for two new European 'gigafactories'.
TerraE was formed in May by six member companies in the KLIB (Kompetenznetzwerk Lithium Ionen Batterien - Lithium ion battery competence network) to establish large scale manufacturig, or 'gigafactories', at two sites in Germany.
http://www.eenewspower.com/news/consortium-sets-battery-gigafactory-foundries
It has brought together 17 companies and research institutions to plan for building large-scale lithium ion battery cell manufacturing in Germany. This includes companies from throughout the supply chain, such as infrastructure manufacturing planners, material producers, machine engineering companies, cell manufacturers, and industrial consumers. TerraE is now looking for other partners in
The factories will be operated as “foundries,” with TerraE building and operating the factories where lithium ion cell customers can have products produced to their specifications.
TerraE is now beginning discussions with potential customers and investors, in particular from industrial sectors such as makers of forklifts, landscaping equipment and cordless tools, who need manufactturing capacity. It is also talking with energy storage and electromobility companies developing city buses, passenger cars and trucks who require a German lithium ion cell supplier to ensure strategic delivery security.

Must be an important person to you for you to follow his twitter account LOL
They are relavant as the Fast Team has now driven a formic acid fuelled bus and its not that Neah shares the same fuel - they share a RU catalyst.
The fact that it is the same catalyst metal as the Tekion hydro gel which still uses the BASF electrolyte when applied to a SAP and is no longer in a " liquid" state and The sbv news is pending. The direction of lithium battery research is "solid" state is revavant to Neah as it is mentioned in Pr's from the past.
Yes they are historical, and effort is expended to disprove them, that statement was easily disproved.
Agree about it being BASF and its liquid until contact with the SAP then its not liguid any more hence the "gel" and the "solid" state reference in the patent and in the PR for Kruse and perphap the PR from Toyota.
Way out of date Mr S resigned Paul Sidlo joined
Neah one of the holders of the patent on the payroll for 2 years 7 month working on the line on Neahs products. See related chain for Sean Huff
Read it again the figued out the temperature problem as well
And yes it is for the fuell cell
But there are 11 patent pending.
It is no longer a liquid. Its a gel right in the patent is says solid state due to the SAP
Share price went up along with news from the buses and email from lab IMHO
