As part of its Battery 500 project - an initiative started by IBM in 2009 to produce a battery capable of powering a car for 500 miles - Big Blue has successfully demonstrated a light-weight, ultra-high-density, lithium-air battery. In IBM's lithium-air battery, oxygen is reacted with lithium to create lithium peroxide and electrical energy (pictured above).

President Obama's recent declaration of an "all-of-the-above" energy policy during his State of the Union address received many cheers here at Consumer Energy Alliance. For years, our organization has advocated for a balanced energy policy that embraces a "we need it all" approach; focusing on choosing winners and losers in the energy space does little to advance a reasonable policy that allows for affordable energy now and in the future.

Leon Esterowitz began his academic life as an English major because of his love of literature, but found himself drawn into physics, and ultimately a decades-long career in engineering. That career helped guide the development of the first medical lasers and night-vision technology, helped develop novel biophotonic medical diagnostic techniques. He now guides research on biophotonics - a field of research that uses light to observe and manipulate tissues and cells - for a program he created more than ten years ago for the National Science Foundation.
