I don't want to diminish what this guy has done, but I hope all the other people involved get the credit they deserve.
The sole inventor is for super hero movies. In reality, there are teams, sometimes just 6 ~ 12, but sometimes dozens of engineers and scientists, grad and undergrad students, that work together to figure out all the little parts to make technology like this work and make it viable.
It's never just the first author, but the next six or so authors on a paper that helped make a project what it is.
All that being said, it's still cool to see research institutions working to make stuff like this.
I don't understand, the first 2 lines of the first two paragraphs:
>>>A team of engineers led by 94-year-old John Goodenough, professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering
>>>Goodenough’s latest breakthrough, completed with Cockrell School senior research fellow Maria Helena Braga
Further down:
>>>Braga began developing solid-glass electrolytes with colleagues while she was at the University of Porto in Portugal. About two years ago, she began collaborating with Goodenough and researcher Andrew J. Murchison at UT Austin. Braga said that Goodenough brought an understanding of the composition and properties of the solid-glass electrolytes that resulted in a new version of the electrolytes that is now patented through the UT Austin Office of Technology Commercialization.
I understand the sentiment, but I don't think it was needed in the context of the article. And while you don't want to dimish from what that guy has done, in a way you diminish the message of the article by singling out a name that the article did not.
Hope this doesn't come across as overly antagonistic, just thought it was odd considering the article seemed pretty good.
