Northern Illinois University, Argonne National Laboratory, the University of North Texas and Ångström Advanced Inc. are being funded by DOE to develop a promising new technology for combatting climate change.

Batteries have come a long way since Alessandro Volta first discovered in 1800 that two unlike metals, when separated by an acidic solution, could produce an electric current.

How research at Argonne will help power the next generation of electric vehicles

Imagine dropping your phone on the hard concrete sidewalk — but when you pick it up, you find its battery has already healed itself.
