PolyPlus Advances Battery Tech, Says “No” to VC Funding
08.09.14 PolyPlus, a startup based on technologies developed at Berkeley Lab, continues to make progress on rechargeable lithium-sulfur and lithium-air battery solutions despite resisting funding offers from venture capital sources. The 27-employee company, awarded $4.5M from ARPA-E in 2013, has outlasted notable competitors and forged relationships with key industry players … [Read more...] about PolyPlus Advances Battery Tech, Says “No” to VC Funding
Lithographic Dry Development Using Optical Absorption IB-2816
APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY: Lithographic development of photo resist materials ABSTRACT: A novel approach to dry development of exposed photo resist is described in which a photo resist layer is exposed to a visible light source in order to remove the resist in the areas of exposure. The class of compounds used as the resist material, under the influence of the light … [Read more...] about Lithographic Dry Development Using Optical Absorption IB-2816
