In Queensland released an article today titled Novonix breakthrough could deliver the EV magic bullet - the 100-year battery

Apparently Dr Jeff Dahn and Tesla's research team released a paper on a nickel-based battery that could last 100 years and still favourably compare to lithium iron phosphate cells.
Dr Jeff Dahn is Novonix's chief scientific officer but aside from this I'm not sure what it really has to do with Novonix. Keep in mind it's only theoretical at this stage and there are concerns around cost with speculation these batteries may be more suited to long-term energy storage than for EVs. And of course media outlets are notoriously horrible at interpreting (sensationalising?) scientific papers. I haven't read the paper myself, nor would I likely understand it, but if it proves achievable it would certainly disrupt the industry and potentially solve the EV battery recycling dilemma.
Has anyone been watching the development of the Zinc/Bromide battery as featured on the ABC News last night (9/09.2021)??

Appaerntly the advantages is the ability to get 100% charge/discharge over multiple cycles.
Production trials to begin shortly in Western Sydney ......... might be something to keep an eye on
