It may come as a surprise to learn just how many great, innovative inventions have come out of Colorado, and if history tells us anything, there are likely plenty more to come.

Now, a company based in Colorado is producing batteries that may rival any past competitors and plans to expand operations a great deal in the near future.

Is a Colorado Company Making the Batteries of the Future?

Technology has come a long way in the past few decades, and it feels like advancements are being made at a much greater speed than ever before. Because of this, it's not uncommon to walk around a store like Best Buy and spot something that looks straight out of a movie based centuries into the future.

You may not be familiar with the Colorado-based company called Forge Nano, but there's a good chance you will be.

The company's Lithium-ion batteries have a high energy density, last longer, and charge faster than your standard battery. Plus, the Atomic Armor makes them much more fire-resistant.
