🔋 Why We Invested in Glimpse’s Series A 🔋 Battery storage is a key pillar of energy transformation, powering everything from EVs to grid resilience. But as energy storage demand skyrockets—3x growth by 2030—battery quality control has become a critical challenge. 💰 1% yield loss = $20M revenue hit for gigafactories 🔥 929 fires caused by lithium-ion batteries in NYC alone 🚨 533% increase in BEV recalls (2018-2023) At TDK Ventures, we believe Glimpse is building the world's most powerful battery quality platform with its rapid 3D-CT scanning technology—bringing precision, efficiency, and safety to manufacturers and battery buyers alike. By enabling in-line 3D-CT scanning, Glimpse is unlocking new levels of reliability and trust in battery production. We’re thrilled to support Glimpse as they scale this game-changing solution.

Hi from #IBSE ! 👋🔋

Funding announcement! 📢 A few months ago, we closed our $10M Series A, and today, we’re excited for Axios to share the news! 🗞️ This round was led by the incredible team at TDK Ventures, with continued support from our amazing existing investors, Ibex Investors and Flybridge. On this occasion, we welcome 🌱🤝🌍 Nicolas Sauvage, President of TDK Ventures, to our board as a director, and Chip Hazard, GP and cofounder of Flybridge as a board observer. Closing a Series A just 1.5 years after inception speaks to the exceptional product the Glimpse team has built and, more importantly, the trust our customers have placed in us. 🙏 Now, back to work! 💼 💻 The link to the Axios article is in the comments 🔗

🎉 We're officially SOC 2 Type 2 compliant! 🎉 From Day 1, we’ve built data security and customer confidentiality 🔐 into our tech stack and workflows. That’s why our Chief Software Officer Patrick Herring and founding engineer Owen Miles breezed through the certification process (okay, maybe also because they rock 🤘). To our customers: We don’t mess around with your data. Confidentiality and security are non-negotiable. This certification is yet another proof that we take them seriously. ✅

🔋 The Molicel P45B is one of the most popular cells with our customers. This cylindrical cell maintains both high energy and high power. But how? 🤔 🤫 One of its secrets: Lots of tabs 🗂️. Tabs provide an electronic pathway 🛣️ between the jellyroll and the terminals. The P45B cell has three anode tabs (bright) and two cathode tabs (dark). ⚡️ While tabs add cost 💲 and can reduce energy density, they also enable high-power cell designs since the tabs allow high currents 🔌 to readily flow in and out of the battery 🌊 🩻 X-ray CT scanning unlocks critical insights into cell design. 📞 Talk to us to learn more about how Glimpse can help you learn more about the products you're designing, producing, or buying ✨

Now published! 🤿 Deep dive the details at the link in the comments.
🩻 It's well known that X-rays can cause damage in humans. But do X-rays damage batteries? 🔋🤕 ⁉️ X-ray beams can damage materials under certain conditions. But we hadn't seen any studies of beam damage in X-ray CT scanning of batteries. So, we decided to look into this ourselves. 📜 In Glimpse's latest study, led by our summer intern Jinhong Min, we show that typical X-ray doses used in CT scanning have no effect on battery performance and lifetime. We cycled cells with 2 minutes of X-ray exposure, 1 hour of X-ray exposure, and a control group and looked as hard as we could for differences. Good news – we couldn't find any! 😮💨 The link to the preprint is in the comments. 🔮 Glimpse enables high-throughput CT scanning for battery quality control. To learn more, visit https://glimp.se or check out our 1000-cell demo at https://app.glimp.se. 🤩🙏 Special thanks to Reece Daniel from Daniel Consulting Group for running the cycling tests as well as Andrew Ramsey (Nikon Metrology) and Till Dreier (Excillum) for their invaluable insights.

🔋 Enabling battery quality at scale 🔋 📝 We're excited to announce that our perspective paper was just published in #NatureCommunications! In this paper, we discuss many of the reasons why we started Glimpse in the first place: 1️⃣ Battery safety, reliability, and manufacturability are difficult and critical problems that are all related to battery quality 🧯🏭 2️⃣ Battery failure is extraordinarily complex and can be caused by very subtle defects 🪦 3️⃣ Improved inspection techniques, specifically CT, have a big role to play in solving these issues 🔍 🔗 The link is available in the comments. 🙏🏼 Special thanks to Andrew Weng, Amariah Condon, Mike Chen, Kristen Giuliano, and Shaurjo Biswas for their help!
