I’m writing this message using my phone which has the single best battery I’ve ever had in a phone. It lasts all day and powers a very fast pocket computer with ease. None of this would be possible right now if it weren’t for the efforts of #JohnBGoodenough and his team of researchers developing the lithium ion battery technology we use in so many devices worldwide.

RIP JBG, you did great.

Goodenough, Nobel laureate who gave the world Li-ion batteries, passes away
... also played significant role in the development of Random Access Memory (RAM)
