The College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany in New York has licensed a silicon/silicide nanostructured anode technology developed there for Li-ion batteries to spin-out company BESS Technologies. The agreement enables BESS to begin to commercialize and to scale-up the technology. BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) Technologies is a component design and engineering firm started by a group of CNSE graduate students in 2010. The CEO and co-founder is Dr. Fernando Gómez-Baquero, a nanoengineer and economist with more than 10 years experience in nanotechnology research and in launching nanotechnolog...
