Fantastic weekly roundup - really helpfull to see all these developments in one place. The QuantumScape-Murata partnership caught my attention because Murata is a major player in ceramic component manufacturing with decades of experience. That's exactly the kind of manufacturing expertise QS needs to scale their ceramic separator production. While Corning brought glass expertise, Murata brings volume production capabilities for ceramics used in everything from smartphones to automotive electronics. This could be the partnership that finally bridges the gap between lab-scale prototypes and the millions of units needed for commercial production.
