Background
Current battery management systems, such as those in electric vehicles, grid storage and consumer electronics, can only estimate bulk metrics like capacity and resistance, which miss key degradation mechanisms. While electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) provides detailed insight into battery health, it requires specialized hardware...

Market Opportunity
While electron emission devices have been heavily explored in the past, the maximum modulation frequency of these devices is limited. Optical modulation of emission offers the highest modulation speeds. Optical approaches, however, are highly inefficient, particularly when utilizing nanostructured tips. Furthermore, these devices...
