A group of „working professionals“ students from the McCombs School of Business (https://www.mccombs.utexas.edu) visited the liquid metal battery lab at HZDR in frame of their international business trip and got an overview of SOLSTICE. Thanks for the interest and for the lively discussion! (Photo: HZDR / M. Giebel).

The SOLSTICE battery concept has been presented on the 5th networking event on energy innovations in Eastern Germany by Dr. Norbert Weber.

The 2nd SOLSTICE Consortium Meeting took place from 26th to 28th April 2022 at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. In total, 22 project members participated in the meeting on site and 18 participants attended online. During four technical workshops, the team discussed the current progress as well as open questions and…
