Battery manufacturer Powin files for bankruptcy months after landing $200M loan

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-22 03:28:24

Battery manufacturer Powin filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday. The Oregon-based company said it has more than $300 million in debt. The Chapter 11 filing will let the company continue operating while it restructures its debt. Powin manufactured grid-scale batteries using lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells from China.

Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers.

Experimental retina implants give mice infrared vision

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-23 04:08:21

Human vision relies on photoreceptor cells in the retina that react to visible light and trigger neurons in the optic nerve to send signals to the brain. Degradation of these photoreceptors is the leading cause of vision impairments, including blindness. However, a team of scientists at China’s Fudan University has recently built prototype retinal implants that can replace the failing photoreceptors and potentially provide infrared vision as a bonus. Sadly, they’ve only been tested in animals,
