SAN JOSE, Calif., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QuantumScape Corporation (NASDAQ: QS), a global leader in next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, today announced its business and financial results for the first quarter of 2026, which ended March 31.
Solid-state batteries are often described as the next big step in energy storage technology. They have the potential to store more energy, last longer, and operate more safely than the lithium-ion batteries used today. Even so, one major challenge has slowed their progress: they are highly vulnerable to short-circuiting. Recent findings from researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shed new light on why this problem keeps happening.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned about growing risks in the global battery market as demand for energy storage continues to rise. Lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, or BESS, have become a key part of modern power systems. Over the last five years, global battery storage capacity has grown twenty times, driven by falling prices, abundant supply, and shorter project lead times.
QuantumScape Corporation (NASDAQ: QS), a global leader in next-generation solid-state lithium-metal battery technology, today announced the appointment of Ross Niebergall to its board of directors. Niebergall is an experienced executive with decades of service in the defense sector, leading R&D and technology commercialization in defense applications for multiple defense primes.
