Scientists invent self-healing battery electrode

Posted: 17 Nov 2013 12:57 PM PST

Researchers have made the first battery electrode that heals itself, opening a new and potentially commercially viable path for making the next generation of lithium ion batteries for electric cars, cell phones and other devices. The secret is a stretchy polymer that coats the electrode, binds it together and spontaneously heals tiny cracks that develop during battery operation, according to the research.

Graphene nanoribbons for 'reading' DNA
