Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

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 ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

Battery technology keeps improving as electric vehicles are produced in large quantities. CALB, a Chinese battery manufacturer, claims its "U-type" battery structure offers higher energy density and ...

A group of scientists from ANSTO, under the leadership of Professor Vanessa Peterson, employed neutron scattering techniques to investigate the development of problematic lithium structures in ...

Electric vehicles have advanced rapidly over the past decade, but battery technology remains the ...
