We’re electrifying transport and heating and have rapidly increasing power needs for AI and the broader digitalisation of society. The electrons themselves are in short supply and it’s getting harder to access them – the power grid doesn’t have enough capacity to transport them to where they are needed. 

That got us thinking – is there a way we can we source those electrons from a few metres away rather than a few hundred miles away……and can we double the amount of energy we extract from each electron?
