Goodenough was so excited about the potential of his design that he reached out to battery companies across the US, the UK and Europe, but incredibly, no one was interested.
If Goodenough could find an anode that would replace lithium metal, the battery would become safe enough to leave the lab and actually power real world devices.
While Goodenough's battery design was gathering dust, 10,000 kilometers away in Japan, a 34-year-old chemist named Akira Yoshino was trying to find a safer battery anode,
but only if Goodenough signed away his financial rights.
And now back to Goodenough's design, a breakthrough with nowhere to go, yet.
This made Goodenough the oldest Nobel laureate in history, receiving the award at the age of 97.

In 2019, Whittingham, Goodenough and Yoshino finally received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for an invention that in the committee's words "Revolutionized our way of life."
That's right. You also offer some pretty heavy criticism of well-meaning do-gooders.
And it was one of his big hits, maybe "Johnny B. Goode ."
Fortunately, a copy of Whittingham's paper made it across the Atlantic to Oxford University in England, where it caught the attention of John B. Goodenough,
The material Whittingham chose for the cathode, titanium disulfide, capped the cell at just 2.4 volts, but Goodenough believed that with a better cathode material, he could do better.
And then just as he was losing hope, on the last workday of 1982 while cleaning out his office, he stumbled upon a 1980 paper by John B. Goodenough.
And that's why I'm going to show just a couple quick pictures of my early stage startup, Gooder AI, where we have the ability to draw profit curves because we
