Prosthetics and smart-pill bottles can be more useful if they can track their use, which is what new technology out of the University of Washington allows them to do.
Coating lithium metal with a tangled film of multi-walled carbon nanotubes quenches the growth of dendritic crystals in lithium metal-based battery cells.
Bio-inspired cement paste could enable the construction of buildings that are more resilient in the event of mechanical stress brought on by natural disasters.
New research shows that lithium metal crystals grow in three different ways in lithium batteries, depending upon the current level at which charging takes place.
