New molten salt repair process recycles high-performance electric vehicle batteries
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 31, 2025 Researchers at Huazhong University of Science and Technology have developed a molten salt technique that restores the structure and performance of used high-nickel lithium-ion battery cathodes. This approach repairs degraded materials found in end-of-life batteries, allowing them to be reused in new batteries. Unlike standard recycling, which recovers metals but destroys atomic structure, this method regenerates the original crystal order and capacity. The team studied LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 (NCM811) ... read more |

New AI enhances the view inside fusion energy systems
Plainsboro NJ (SPX) Oct 06, 2025 Imagine watching a favorite movie when suddenly the sound stops. The data representing the audio is missing. All that's left are images. What if artificial intelligence (AI) could analyze each frame of the video and provide the audio automatically based on the pictures, reading lips and noting each time a foot hits the ground? That's the general concept behind a new AI that fills in missing data about plasma, the fuel of fusion, according to Azarakhsh Jalalvand of Princeton University. Jalalvand i ... read more
