  "textContent": "Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale \"thorns\" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as spontaneously catch on fire. These thorns, known as dendrites, have been difficult to study and understand – until now.\n\nContinue Reading\n\n**Category:** Energy, Technology\n\n**Tags:** New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rice University, Lithium-ion, sustainable design, NanoEnergy, Power delivery, Dendrites, Batteries",
