In our tech-driven world, batteries are the unsung heroes powering everything from your smartphone to electric cars. But here’s the catch: traditional battery manufacturing can be pretty harsh on the environment and our health, thanks to those problematic “forever chemicals” called PFAS.
These chemicals sneak into countless everyday products and have even made their way into the bloodstream of most Americans, bringing along a host of health concerns. That’s where Ateios Systems comes in. Based in Newberry, Indiana, this innovative company is shaking things up by developing a new way to make batteries without these harmful substances.

The impact of RaiCure technology
The company’s proprietary RaiCure Technology, developed in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, replaces traditional high-temperature curing with a radiation-based process using energy-curable polymers. This method not only enhances battery performance but also significantly reduces environmental impact.
By focusing on improving the manufacturing process rather than creating entirely new battery chemistry, Ateios is able to quickly adapt its technology for a wide range of applications, from small electronics to potentially even electric vehicles.

My engineering background and builder of energy efficient and passive solar homes tells me the Green New Deal is not ready for prime time and is still in the experimental phase. Small compact nucellar plants with recyclable fuel, Propane powered fuel cells and a little later, fusion reactors that leave only a bit of helium without radioactive waste to deal with in the near future. Build a residence with little or no need for energy to heat or cool where the home lasts for 50 to 100 years and the energy saving features are integrated into the structure have been in our hands since 1980’s. A 3000 Sq ft. home would only require a backup system, seldom used, of a small 600 sf. mobile home.
