Following up from this previous post, Finland’s Donut Lab claimed a breakthrough solid-state battery with extraordinary specs, but independent tests revealed the “cell” was actually ordinary lithium-ion, exposed through a pattern of red flags: sweeping, implausible claims from a small company, an empty demo at CES, and production deceit. The investigation confirms a fraud pattern: grand promises from an underfunded outfit, little to no verifiable data, and a tendency to fake prototypes to spur hype. This mirrors Theranos and highlights the value of cross-checking predictions with independent testing.
