R&D Magazine: Researcher working to develop new sources of energy

An article in R&D Magazine about efforts by Esther Takeuchi, Greatbatch Professor in Power Sources Research in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, to develop new sources of energy storage and an electrical grid where renewable power is generated closer to where it's needed rather than in a central place and transmitted long distances, the way the current grid operates. Her research efforts received wide media attention, with articles (and a UB-produced slide show) appearing in a number of highly read science blogs and websites, include PhysOrg, Science Blog, Power Online, Tech News AM, Science Daily and Life Sciences World. An article on World News Network also reports on her research, and includes an hour-long video of a presentation she gave while at Wilson Greatbatch Ltd., on "The Bionic Human: Medical Devices and How they are Powered."
