By mining data from X-ray images, researchers at MIT, Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator, and the Toyota Research Institute have made significant new discoveries about the reactivity o .
Billions of tiny particles packed into rechargeable lithium-ion battery electrodes are responsible for storing charge and making it available when it's needed to do work. X-ray movies of this process show the particles absorbing and releasing lithium ions as the battery charges and discharges.
