Research upturns assumptions about battery failure

Jing Wang, a postdoctoral researcher working with the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Argonne National Laboratory, is the first author of a new paper that uncovered some of the root causes – and ways to mitigate – the nanoscopic strains that can lead to cracking in an increasingly popular form of battery for electric vehicles and other technologies.
