HALIFAX — They call themselves the "Dahn lab" graduates, and they're powering an unlikely, Halifax-based research hub for batteries designed to replace fossil fuels.
The genesis of the lab goes back to Dahn's early career in the 1980s, working with industry on pioneering lithium-based batteries. While studying with his mentor in 2009, Burns helped create higher-precision systems that test the endurance of lithium-ion cells. He and fellow researcher David Stevens used their findings to create Novonix Ltd., offering what Dahn calls the "most accurate" battery testing systems in the world.
"Everything we started was out of his drive for longer-life batteries that started our cell-testing business," the 36-year-old entrepreneur said. Dahn says a new generation of researchers in the lab are building on past findings, and Tesla is receiving cost-effective results on a budget that's assisted by university and federal research contributions.
