Welcome to Lithium Horizons
‘‘To create and to annihilate material substance, cause it to aggregate in forms according to his desire, would be the supreme manifestation of the power of Man’s mind, his most complete triumph over the physical world.‘‘ — Nikola Tesla
Throughout history, we've marked our progress by the materials we've mastered: the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, the Industrial (Steel) Age, and the Information (Silicon) Age. As we look to the future, which material will define us?
In our rapidly evolving world, materials are not just what we build with—they are crucial for our future prosperity. We inhabit a material world, where all challenges humanity faces can be reduced to issues of material science. From the microchips in our devices to the skyscrapers that define our skylines, the materials we choose shape our world and our vision for the future. Crucially, as we move towards new forms of energy, materials will be key to our success.
