Stanford CA (SPX) Sep 01, 2024 - A lithium-ion battery's very first charge is more momentous than it sounds. It determines how well and how long the battery will work from then on - in particular, how many cycles of charging and discharging it can handle before deteriorating.

In a study published in Joule, researchers at the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center report that giving batteries this first charge at unusually high currents increased their average lifespan by 50% while decreasing the initial charging time from 10 hours to just 20 minutes.

Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Aug 30, 2024 - Whether between galaxies or within doughnut-shaped fusion devices known as tokamaks, the electrically charged fourth state of matter known as plasma regularly encounters powerful magnetic fields, changing shape and sloshing in space. Now, a new measurement technique using protons, subatomic particles that form the nuclei of atoms, has captured details of this sloshing for the first time, potentially providing insight into the formation of enormous plasma jets that stretch between the stars.
