Glimpse

Take a Glimpse into what Peter Attia and the team are up to. . . Series 2 - Episode 4 https://lnkd.in/eSWgRcSQ Like & share with your network! #batterytech #batteries #energystorage

What an amazing first Boston Battery Social ?? ?? organized by the Volta Foundation and hosted at Glimpse's headquarters in Greentown Labs! A massive turnout, some amazing tech talks, and a fantastic crowd to network with! Special thanks to Fastmarkets for their sponsoring, Dana Bubonovich and Yen T. Yeh from the Volta Foundation for the flawless organization, Kelly Wilson and Jacqueline Hedberg from the Greentown Labs team for the coordination, and Easton Rasgon from our team for putting this together!

?? ?? Looking for guidance on how to safely prepare, package, ship, receive, and dispose of battery cells in the US? ?? ?? ?? Our team has concocted a list of resources that we've found the most useful as we were learning the ins and outs of shipping battery cells. ?? ?? Today, we're making this list available to everyone! Not because cell shipping is a thrilling topic (it really isn't ??), but because it's an essential part of developing a thriving battery cell ecosystem. ?? ?? Just like with our our Scan On Demand service, through which we provide high-resolution scans of your cells for as low as $50/scan, we want to do our part in helping battery startups collaborate and flourish. https://lnkd.in/dhGfxiUV

???It's well known that X-rays can cause damage in humans. But do X-rays damage batteries?????? ?? X-ray beams can damage materials under certain conditions. But we hadn't seen any studies of beam damage in X-ray CT scanning of batteries. So, we decided to look into this ourselves. ?? In Glimpse's latest study, led by our summer intern Jinhong Min, we show that typical X-ray doses used in CT scanning have no effect on battery performance and lifetime. We cycled cells with 2 minutes of X-ray exposure, 1 hour of X-ray exposure, and a control group and looked as hard as we could for differences. Good news – we couldn't find any! ???? The link to the preprint is in the comments. ???Glimpse enables high-throughput CT scanning for battery quality control. To learn more, visit?https://glimp.se?or check out our 1000-cell demo at?https://app.glimp.se. ?????Special thanks to Reece Daniel from Daniel Consulting Group for running the cycling tests as well as Andrew Ramsey (Nikon Metrology) and Till Dreier (Excillum) for their invaluable insights.

If you're in the Boston area on 11/14, join us for a battery ?? happy hour ?? ?? co-hosted by the incredible Volta Foundation and the Glimpse team. We have some delicious food ?? ?? and exciting tech talks ?? planned for the evening!

?? ?? Big news! Glimpse has partnered with VCbattery and Excillum to bring high-res, seconds-long, full-cell CT scanning to the cylindrical cell industry ?? ?? ?? Yes, you read that right. 20um scans. Full cylindrical cells. Every 10 seconds. ?? By integrating Excillum's breakthrough liquid metal X-ray source into VCbattery's VCB2, a first-of-its-kind CT scanner specifically designed for cylindrical cells, and combining it with the Glimpse Portal, this "superscanner" will revolutionize battery cell inspection. ?? Glimpse will install the world's first superscanner at its Boston, MA headquarters in Q2 2025. For more details about this announcement, read our press release below or come by our booth (#5711) at The Battery Show. https://lnkd.in/dDVhTXM8

?? What kinds of battery chemistries are compatible with CT scanning? ?? All sorts! Check out these ?? sodium-ion ?? 18650 cells that we scanned in 2 minutes. These cells look similar to conventional lithium-ion cylindrical cells. However, unlike lithium-ion cells, sodium-ion cells use aluminum as the current collector for both electrodes. ?? As long as the anode and cathode have different elemental compositions ??????? — which is essentially true by definition in a battery — CT scanning can be used to evaluate battery quality and performance. We've scanned cells using NMC, LFP, lithium metal, sodium ion, and the list ?? goes on... ?? The Glimpse Portal allows battery engineers to quickly understand the quality of their batteries ????. See these scans and over 1,000 more on our demo at https://app.glimp.se!

We’re excited to be attending The Battery Show in Detroit this October! Visit us at Booth 5711 to learn how we’re helping battery producers and buyers enable battery quality at scale. ????

Join us next Wednesday to learn more about the challenges of battery quality at scale and how high-throughput CT can help!
