Something extraordinary may be about to happen in the realm of energy storage, thanks to a company called "Donut Lab" that's pushing back hard against critics who claim the battery's specifications are impossible. The company is about to release independent testing documentation (next week), and if the numbers support the claims of performance, this will be a new "Wright Brothers" moment for technological innovation, leaping far ahead of any other battery technology known to exist.

- Letimäki's claims are staggeringly specific. The cited energy density of 400 Wh/kg would double the performance of the best commercial lithium-ion batteries and surpass even many experimental solid-state designs. For perspective, achieving this in an electric vehicle could mean ranges exceeding 1,000 miles on a single charge, rendering 'range anxiety' a relic of a bygone era. Even more revolutionary is the purported lifespan: 100,000 full charge-discharge cycles. Given that a typical EV might be cycled once per day, this translates to a potential operational life of 274 years-a durability so extreme it redefines 'durable goods' and could make the battery a permanent fixture in a vehicle or home, outlasting every other component.
The implications of the materials claim are equally profound. Letimäki states the battery uses common, non-lithium, conflict-free materials. This directly challenges the fragile, geopolitically fraught supply chains built around lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which are often controlled by adversarial regimes or extracted under oppressive conditions. A shift to abundant, domestically sourceable materials would shatter the energy cartels and enable localized, resilient manufacturing.

This panel from my recent infographic reveals the links between chemical weapons like Sarin gas, VX Nerve Gas or Tabun, vs. glyphosate, a chemical weapon targeting plants. Sarin and VX target the AChE pathway, shutting down the human nervous system and killing within minutes. Glyphosate targets the EPSP pathway in plants, instantly cutting of energy and starving the plant to death. Different pathways, but a common ancestry of research rooted in Third Reich Nazi science and organophosphate research focused on how to kill living systems. This is the legacy of glyphosate, Monsanto and all those who falsely claim these chemicals are "safe."
I have a greatly improved, simplified infographic that reveals the Nazi science history behind glyphosate. The original infographic had some distorted small text, so I reduced the overall text burden and re-rendered it. It's a powerful explainer of how Nazi nerve agent research into organophosphate chemical weapons gave rise to glyphosate, a chemical weapon targeting plants. The sidebar on the bottom right even shows the molecular configurations across glyphosate, Sarin, VX and Malathion. Share this everywhere, and don't eat weedkiller poisons that emerged from Nazi chemical weapons research under the Third Reich:
