Posted by | Feb 19, 2020 | , ,

They say that home is where the heart is, and for some, their heart is very tied to nature and to Mother Earth.

In 2016, a UC Irvine student named Mya Le Thai was playing around in the university lab. That day she made an accidentally awesome discovery, and the way we charge our batteries may be changed forever.  The story goes that she was just hanging out – doing some experiments (as one does, when one is a doctoral candidate). She coated gold nanowires in manganese dioxide and then applied an electrolyte gel that offers “Plexiglas-like” protection for the wires.
