The National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award for the electrochemical acoustic tools for the analysis of batteries is awarded to Feasible, Inc. The start date for the award amount is July 16, 2017 with an estimated end date of Jan. 31, 2018.
NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950. It’s mission is “to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…” As part of the effort to support research and people to create knowledge, the NSF offers monetary awards and is the funding source for 24% of all federally supported basic research conducted by America’s colleges and universities. This Phase I project will support Feasible’s development of the first commercial ultrasonic battery analysis unit. It will be necessary for demonstrating the applicability of ultrasonic analysis to the battery R&D, manufacturing, and second-life battery markets.
