For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, ...

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

Some argue that hybridized powertrains may be less reliable due to the added complexity of components like a high-voltage battery. Reaching a definitive conclusion, however, requires long-term data – ...

Porsche is recalling 27,527 Taycan EVs in the U.S. owing to concerns of the high-voltage battery experiencing a short circuit within the battery module, the National Highway Traffic Safety ...

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 ...

UK investigators have said that a short-circuit in a lithium-metal battery was the likely cause of the fire that damaged an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-8 at Heathrow last year. The British Air ...

New research out of a Columbia University Engineering team, via phys.org, has uncovered a method to stabilize solid electrolytes in lithium metal, a.k.a solid-state batteries. Utilizing a boron ...
