Solid-state battery breakthrough could solve the biggest flaw in this potentially world-changing technology

Researchers at Harvard have developed a new type of solid-state battery employing solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, as opposed to using liquid or polymer gel electrolytes in conventional lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries that power most of our current devices.Solid-state batteries face numerous challenges impeding widespread adoption, such as flammability, limited voltage, poor performance and structural weaknesses, hindering their progress in the past.A recent breakthrough resulted in the team creating a small, postage stamp-sized high-capacity battery capable of
