Lithium-ion batteries have become the quiet workhorses of the energy transition, but the way they are designed and tested has long been slow, expensive, and heavily empirical. Machine learning is now ...

As the world grapples with the energy crisis and environmental concerns, the focus on renewable energy sources has intensified. Lithium-ion batteries, with their high energy density and low pollution, ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...
