That lithium-ion battery in your phone or car? It has just won three chemists the Nobel Prize

Re: Exploiting science

While I can't speak for the man in this specific case, I would doubt that he was "forced". My tutor at University was 82 and the uni kept trying to get him to retire. He refused, repeatedly. To him, his research was his life and being forced to give up his life's work and "retire" was a punishment.

I'm going to hazard a guess that Professor Goodenough will carry on working on this thing until the day he dies, and he'd have it no other way.
