The Application Changes When You Apply a Technology That's Really Quite Different

Motors are driving the zero-emissions race to electrification, but what if we could make them smaller and more efficient? David Calley, who spoke to Lexicon at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, is one entrepreneur working on the issue.

It could power robots, industrial applications and eVTOLs, paving the way for improvements in mobility.
