Learn how @NIST fire researchers developed an AI algorithm to recognize the distinctive hiss that lithium ion batteries make just before they catch fire. This warning could save lives. https://t.co/w7hVicHPKr

[Science Friday @scifri]

Lithium-ion batteries power devices like phones, laptops, and e-bikes, but when damaged, they can explode or catch fire.

Dr. Andy Tam and Dr. Anthony Putorti from @NIST join us to discuss an algorithm that could detect these hazards.
