Forward-reference to Adam Powell's upcoming guest lecture. Spinoff from MIT via Boston University; ~$10-20M in funding for an environmentally clean metals extraction process.
On Thursday we've got a guest lecturer, Adam Powell, who's going to talk about Infinium, a new process that started out here at MIT. The professor went over to Boston University, and now they've started this company that's going through about ten or twenty million dollars of funding for a new environmentally clean way to make all kinds of metals — almost everything on the periodic table. On Friday, if I have time, I've been thinking about doing something like comparing soda bottles, or beverage containers. What are the materials of choice in beverage containers? There's aluminum. Plastic. Paper — actually most paper is a composite, even if it's just the plastic-coated paper of milk cartons. If you go to those drink boxes, that's a seven-layer composite, pretty complex. Glass. And one other: steel.
