“Chance favours the prepared mind”: lithium batteries

Citing Pasteur's famous dictum, this article from a couple of years ago tells the remarkable story of the development to commerciality of the lithium-ion battery.  

And it's a classic illustration of just how messy and random much of science and business can be.  In this case, at least a UK organisation made some reasonable money from it! 

A great read.
