Despite the rise of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, there are still many times when non-rechargeable batteries are the better option. Among the most common of these is the ubiquitous AA battery. In fact, many of us will have a collection of these stored in a kitchen drawer or tucked away in a workshop unit. This is because the battery type is used in many common household electronics, including remote...

These have the advantage...

Scientists have developed a machine learning method that could dramatically slash the cost and energy required to develop new lithium-ion batteries that the modern world is becoming increasingly reliant. Predicting a new battery design’s lifesapn – and its engineering applications – is a major industry bottleneck. Brute-force testing of prototypes by repeatedly charging and discharging until they near their end-of-life threshold can take months or even years, consuming vast amounts of...
