''Atoms to Products: Nanostructured Novel Battery,'' To Be Subject of Talk by Lead mPhase Technologies Researcher.


ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Victor Lifton, lead researcher for mPhase Technologies Inc. (OTC OTC

: XDSL), will present a paper today, "Atoms to products - a nanostructured novel battery," at the Nanotech 2005, Anaheim Marriott & Convention Center.

Dr. Lifton's talk at 10:30 a.m. is part of a session, "Nanotechnology Products and Business Development," which begins today at 10:30 a.m. in Grand Ballroom F.

Dr. Lifton will report on the company's progress in fabricating a new generation of smart batteries that are based on nanotechnology. mPhase was recently awarded the 2005 Frost & Sullivan Excellence in Technology Innovation Award for its leadership in battery design.

The project is based on a joint program with Bell Labs, the R&D arm of Lucent Technologies (NYSE NYSE

:LU). The novel battery is based on a Bell Labs discovery that liquid droplets of electrolyte electrolyte (ĭlĕk`trəlīt'), electrical conductor in which current is carried by ions rather than by free electrons (as in a metal).  will stay in a dormant state atop microscopic structures called "nanograss" until stimulated to flow, thereby triggering a reaction producing electric current. Future batteries based on this technology have the potential to deliver far longer shelf life and better storage capacity than existing battery technology. Potential initial applications for this technology may include defense, industrial, healthcare, and consumer electronics. mPhase is also targeting the nanobattery for use in a technically-improved, lighter weight battery designs.
