Cyclotron Road Leads Energy Entrepreneurs Across the Innovation Gap
New Berkeley Lab program seeks scientists to commercialize the next breakthrough technology.
Steven Kaye got his Ph.D. working on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), one of the most exciting materials in chemistry today and especially effective for separating gases. But nearly a decade after earning his degree, he saw that the science-to-product gap was still gaping: despite the discovery of thousands of MOFs, there was not a single MOF material in commercial use.
