Why we picked this
The clean energy transition depends on better batteries. A Caltech chemist explains exactly where the science stands — and what's coming next.
The clean energy transition runs on batteries. Electric vehicles, grid-scale solar storage, portable electronics — they all depend on electrochemistry that most people take for granted. Caltech professor Kimberly See breaks down how batteries actually work at the molecular level, what limits current technology, and where the next breakthroughs are likely to come from.
Part of Caltech’s Watson Lecture series, which has been making cutting-edge science accessible to the public for decades. Free at Beckman Auditorium.
