RE:Meet Tesla's new weapon, a battery scientistGraphite juniors make a lot of outrageous claims and all say their material is the best, none of which should be believed without strong third party validation. Northern Graphite's spherical graphite results (see May 9, 2015 PR) were verified by Dr. Ed Buiel who got his PhD (“Development of Carbon Anode Materials for Lithium Ion Battery Applications”) under Jeff Dahn of Dalhousie University, has co-authored patents with Dahn ("Li-insertion in hard carbon anode materials for Li-ion batteries") and has over 50+ patents, publications and conference publications in his own right. If you want to know more about who Jeff Dahn is and that the quality of NGC's SPG give it a big advantage in the Tesla sweepstakes, follow this link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/tesla-partners-with-battery-researcher-to-lower-costs-1434553116?mod=yahoo_hs
