According to a study published in Science, an international team of scientists has discovered a startling element that speeds ...

A massive lithium find in California's Salton Sea region could help boost domestic supplies of the mineral, which plays a critical role in production of electric vehicle (EV) batteries.

Each year, I write a series of articles covering the Review’s findings. The global production of lithium has seen remarkable growth, rising from 9.5 thousand metric tons in 1995 to 198 thousand ...

Caltech researchers from campus and JPL have collaborated to devise a method for coating lithium-ion battery cathodes with graphene, extending the life and performance of these widely used ...

After decades of lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, a new option has emerged: batteries made with sodium ions. Scientists have been researching alternatives to lithium for years.

Lithium-ion technology dominates batteries at ... Devaraj and others in the field turn instead to a technology called atom probe tomography (APT). APT uses either ultrafast electrical or laser ...
