Professor Stanley Whittingham, FRS

Professor Stanley Whittingham was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work pioneering lithium ion batteries, which transformed wireless portable electronics such as smartphones and laptops from science fiction to a reality, and laid the groundwork for fossil-fuel free society as seen in electric cars and batteries for solar & wind energy storage.
