WASHINGTON — The Boeing 787 Dreamliner battery that caught fire earlier this month in Boston shows evidence of short-circuiting and a chemical reaction known as “thermal runaway,” in which an increase ...

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

The Porsche Taycan has been recalled, and the root cause is once again the electric car's battery pack. In April, Porsche recalled 606 Taycans noting their battery packs could short circuit and catch ...

Some argue that hybridized powertrains may be less reliable due to the added complexity of components like a high-voltage battery. Reaching a definitive conclusion, however, requires long-term data – ...

UK investigators have said that a short-circuit in a lithium-metal battery was the likely cause of the fire that damaged an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-8 at Heathrow last year. The British Air ...
