Battery research is a fraught area to report on. In the lab, researchers manage to show something spectacular, like high current density or excellent recharge characteristics. But the part where ...

Modern life would be quite different without decent batteries. Can you imagine powering your laptop on something like a standard automobile battery? It simply doesn't bear thinking about.

There's an added bonus in that replacing a proportion of the cobalt used in the traditional lithium-cobalt-oxide electrodes with manganese improves safety by reducing the risk of overheating.
