CSN Director Bob Hamers was featured on WISC-TV Channel 3 news in Madison last night in a story about the startup company he co-founded, Silatronix. The story discussed the safety hazards of some Lithium-ion batteries, and how Silatronix has developed a compound with the potential to make the batteries much safer. As Bob says in the video, “We’ve generated a material that is safer, and by virtue of that we believe we can make Lithium-ion batteries safer as well.”
