Fermi Level

When you're fighting that rundown feeling after a long meeting, a long lecture, or even a long story about your best friend's vacation, recharge your batteries with the Fermi Level. Caffeine can't give you the extra pep provided by charging up with an additional electron to keep your juices flowing. With the Fermi Level, you'll have charge to spare. So whether you're feeling like a metal, semiconductor, or insulator, level up one electron with the Fermi Level. The Fermi Level, we bring good things to life (GE).
