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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Abstract Organic ice electrolytes in their frozen states are presented as molecular-solid Li+ conductors for lithium metal batteries (LMBs ...

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 ...
