that can be easily applied to the devices they power. Utilizing
electrolytes made from a synthetic polymer, Mackanic has engineered
batteries that can flex without inhibiting performance or risking
electrical fire. He first devised his idea as a doctoral student at
Stanford University and has since partnered with several companies to
test his batteries in electric vehicles, virtual reality headsets and
wearable devices. Mackanic was featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list
in the Energy category in 2020 and was highlighted in Bloomberg
Businessweek in 2024.

revolutionary work in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer,
receiving the Pathfinder Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2014 World
Congress of Breast Healthcare and the 2012 Spirit of Achievement Award
from the American Cancer Society, among many other accolades. Regarded

nonprofit organizations on AI law, ethics and policy. She received the
Time100 Impact Award in 2024 for her work on harnessing responsible AI,
recognizing her help in developing guidelines for using AI-reliant
technology to mitigate harm and maximize legal compliance.

21(st)-Century AI Movement" list and was inducted into the 100 Brilliant
