Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over ...

Stanford University has addressed the brittleness problem of electrolytes in solid-state battery technology. The ...

Crucially, the silver remained in its positively charged ionic form rather than becoming metallic again. The researchers ...

From health monitors and smartwatches to foldable phones and portable solar panels, demand for flexible electronics is growing rapidly. But the durability of those devices—their ability to stand up to ...

Engineers discovered hidden cracks in flexible electronics and proposed a new design that could make foldable devices and solar cells more durable. (Nanowerk News) From health monitors and ...

A microscope image shows how cracks that form in the ceramic top layer of a flexible electronic device can penetrate deep into the polymer substrate beneath. Solving minimizing substrate cracks would ...

A team of researchers at Osaka University demonstrated that cracks induced in composites consisting of alumina (Al 2 O 3) ceramics and titanium (Ti) as dispersed phase could be healed at room ...
