Solid-state batteries have been plagued by the formation of metallic cracks called dendrites that cause them to short circuit. MIT researchers used a new visual technique to measure stress in a material as a dendrite crack grows. https://t.co/s7OvUZanbD

Some of the most important things in life feel ordinary, until you stop and think about what makes them possible. A cure. A car. A comet. Someone right now is chasing answers to questions we haven't even asked yet. This is #CuriosityOnAMission. 🔬

What are you curious about? https://t.co/rErxJSaMwa

Turning extreme heat into large-scale energy storage: Fourth Power, founded by Professor Asegun Henry, is developing thermal batteries for efficiently storing excess electricity from utility grids and power producers.

Henry’s approach earned him a Guinness World Record for the hottest liquid pump back in 2017. https://t.co/Jy4MfU5sM4

Data centers are projected to account for anywhere from 9 to 17 percent of total electricity usage in the U.S. by the end of the decade. Today, around a third of data center electricity is devoted to cooling the chips that run AI models. That’s the process Ferveret is working to make more efficient. https://t.co/JwCooVg1gh
