Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have shed new light on the formation of dendrites in high energy density rechargeable batteries with lithium metal anodes. The electrodes in today’s lithium ion batteries are porous, and about 30 vol% of the electrode is taken up by inactive phases. 1 ), low density (0.59

In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid.
