Scott Elrod, the laboratory's boss, says that PARC is now discussing how to test the new battery with firms that might eventually manufacture it.

该实验室的老板Scott Elrod说，现在帕洛阿尔托研究中心正在讨论怎样与可能最终生产这些新电池的公司进行合作测试。

Solar panels made this way are now in production, and Mr Elrod is already casting his eye over fuel cells, ultracapacitors (a novel way of storing electricity) and even catalytic converters as suitable candidates for manufacture by co-extrusion.

以这种方式制造的太阳能板现已投入生产，Elrod也已把目光投向了燃料电池，超级电容（一种储藏电量的新奇方式），甚至催化转化器都成了共挤压制造的合适材料。
