mPhase Technologies Inc. and AlwaysReady Inc. announced that it is set to make battery history on Thursday, April 3rd at 9:00am ET, by demonstrating for the first time a significant breakthrough in battery technology enabled by microfluidics, the science that deals with the behavior, control and manipulation of fluids geometrically constrained to a small, typically sub-milimeter, scale. The mPhase/AlwaysReady Smart NanoBattery uses microfluidics to transfer liquid electrolyte through a nano structured separator known as a membrane which makes contact with the solid electrodes, enabling activation of an electrical device. The membrane is designed to keep the electrolyte separate from the electrodes until activation is initiated.

mPhase Technologies Inc. and AlwaysReady Inc. announced successful transfer of certain processes critical to the manufacturing of Nano Smart Battery originally developed at the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium to a commercial contract foundry facility.

mPhase Technologies Inc. announced that it has successfully advanced its new battery technology based upon a well patented phenomenon known as electrowetting. This phenomenon allows an alternative to conventional batteries by being able to mix the liquid electrolyte, on command, thereby potentially creating an infinite shelf life. The result is a more reliable, more versatile, cost competitive battery. The battery is also a green product that may be disposed of without the normal toxicity associated with conventional batteries. This unique way to store energy and manage power requirements could revolutionize the electronics battery industry. Market applications includeportable and micro electronic devices used in military, industrial, medical, and consumer applications. This represents one of the largest segments of the $55 billion dollar a year battery market.
