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 ...

Scientists in Germany have analyzed the thermal runaway behavior of sodium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries inside a 10-L reaction vessel. They have thermally abused 30 samples, each under a ...

As well as running the risk of being fined, disposing of batteries incorrectly can lead to fires and environmental pollution. Here's how to prevent it.

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use remains limited by unstable lithium deposition, dendrite growth, and rapid ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional ...

In chemistry, some problems are so persistent that they are nicknamed “forever.” Perfluoroalkyl and ...

For DIYers and pros alike, upgrading from corded to cordless power tools means more freedom, less hassle, and little maintenance. But as convenient as these power tools are, they use lithium-ion ...

There is greater demand placed on data centers than ever before. Could lithium-ion technologies hold the answer to keeping the industry moving forward?

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Bryce Huff has announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 27 after six seasons in the league. Huff revealed the decision on Thursday and said he plans ...
