Tapei meeting is a true power forum

Bored with battery meetings where electrochemists talk to each other and not their customers? Gerry Woolf finds there's plenty of electrochemical crossover into other fields taking place in Taiwan.

It'll be nine years to the day this month (January) that I attended my very first battery meeting, organised by Prof Rhadi Das at California State's electrical engineering department. Lord knows how many I've attended since.

Though that meeting is long gone, Das had a vision that it should be the crossover between electrical engineering and electrochemistry. His dream was never really achieved . . .
