Tougher solid electrolyte advances long-sought lithium metal batteries
A solid—rather than liquid—electrolyte between the opposite electrodes of a battery should, in theory, enable a rechargeable ...
However, due to its fragility, aerogel has played a vital role in space exploration. Aerogels are 99.8 per cent air. They are ...
