Dangerous by design: Runaway miniature battery makes safety testing more accessible and affordable

Overheating batteries are a serious risk, in the worst cases leading to fires and explosion. A team including researchers from the University of Tokyo has developed a simple, cost-effective method to test the safety of lithium-ion batteries, which opens up opportunities for research into new and safer batteries for the future. The work is published in Nature Energy.
