For decades, scientists have tried to make reliable lithium-metal batteries which hold 50% more energy than lithium-ion batteries, but higher failure rates and safety problems like fires and explosions have crippled commercialisation efforts. Researchers have hypothesized why the devices fail, but direct evidence has been sparse. Sandia National Laboratories scientists Katie Harrison, left, and Katie ...
