QZ has an amazing article about 92 year old John Goodenough, inventor of the lithium-ion battery.

The good news is that Goodenough has one last idea. He’s working on it with yet another crop of post-doctoral assistants. “I want to solve the problem before I throw my chips in,” he says. “I’m only 92. I still have time to go.”
