Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures—known as dendrites and whiskers—that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even a fire.
PNNL researchers have created a chemical cocktail that could help electric cars power their way through extreme temperatures where current lithium-ion batteries don’t operate as efficiently as needed.
PNNL researchers demonstrate how the excitation of oxygen atoms that contributes to better performance of a lithium-ion battery also triggers a process that leads to damage, explaining a phenomenon that has been a mystery to scientists.
Monitoring the activity within a network in real-time can allow cybersecurity staff to detect cyberattacks quickly, before thieves steal data or crash your system.
The FLOWER software app, named because it inspects network flows, or conversations between computers, can be deployed using a passive network tap anywhere in the enterprise to fight cybercrime.
