John B. Goodenough, the scientist who played a crucial role in developing the lithium-ion battery, died at the age of 100. He shared the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on the rechargeable power pack that is now ubiquitous in today’s electronic devices and electric and hybrid vehicles. Goodenough's contribution is regarded as the crucial link in the development of the battery, a linchpin of chemistry, physics, and engineering on a molecular scale. He had been working in recent years on a superbattery that he said might someday store and transport wind, solar, and nuclear energy, transforming the national electric grid and perhaps revolutionizing the place of electric cars in middle-class life, with unlimited travel ranges and the ease of recharging in minutes.
