NORWALK, Conn., Feb 11, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- mPhase Technologies Inc. (OTC:
XDSL) today announced that its lead researcher, Victor Lifton, will present a
paper, "Atoms to products - a nanostructured novel battery," at the Nano Science
and Technology Institute Conference and Trade Show in Anaheim, California.
Dr. Lifton will report on the progress of the mPhase plan to fabricate
nanotech-based batteries, which can generate electric current. The project is
based on a joint program with Bell Labs, the R&D arm of Lucent Technologies.
The novel battery is based on a Bell Labs discovery that liquid droplets of
electrolyte will stay in a dormant state atop microscopic structures called
"nanograss" until stimulated to flow, thereby triggering a reaction producing
electric current.
"We are especially excited about the ability to use various battery chemistries
and take advantage of the special characteristics of Nanograss," Lifton said.
Future batteries based on this technology have the potential to deliver far
longer shelf life and better storage capacity than existing battery technology.
Potential initial applications for this technology may include defense,
industrial, healthcare, and consumer electronics. mPhase is also targeting the
nanobattery for use in a technically-improved, lighter weight battery designs.
Dr. Lifton joined mPhase Technologies Inc. in June, 2004, following positions at
Kulite Semiconductor Products, Inc., as a Manager of Semiconductor Processing
and Lucent Bell Labs, as a Member of the Technical Staff in MEMS Fabrication
Research Lab. He has a Ph.D in Materials Science from Stevens Institute of
Technology where he won the Morton M. Traum Award for Excellence.
Dr. Lifton has designed and fabricated various optical MEMS microdevices and
conducted electrochemical studies of porous Si and SiC as novel sensing
materials and process control of semiconductor-based sensors for pressure
transducers, process development for novel sensor architectures using SOI and
thick paste technology, and novel materials and packaging methods for next
generation sensors.
mPhase and Lucent announced an agreement in March 2004, under which mPhase plans
to commercialize the nanobattery under license from Lucent. mPhase projects its
nanobattery to be commercially available in 12-18 months, and plans to produce
the technology packaged in various configurations. A primary development goal is
to create a battery that could have a shelf life lasting decades, yet can be
activated instantaneously.
