Experimental nanowire-based battery cell recharges 100,000 times or more

UCI doctoral candidate Mya Le Thai with experimental nanowire-based battery cell

Many of the obstacles impeding widespread electric-car adoption—including range, durability, charging times, and cost—can be traced to the limits of current battery technology. That’s produced a huge expansion in basic research into potential replacements for the lithium-ion chemistry that currently dominates the industry. One such… …read more
