Garbage truck fires are never ideal, but they are usually not catastrophic. When a fire broke out on December 6 in the back of a garbage truck making its Friday rounds through the Chicago suburb of ...

That seems bound to fail, unless thermally coupled to the entire (non-thermally-conductive) tank and insulated from the outside. Seems like you would at least need a pressure release valve, if not ...

An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of lithium-ion, scientists say.

Lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries are everywhere. They are in personal electronics, power tools, micro-mobility devices, electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). Researchers around the ...

An integrated Li-ion battery bank recently caught fire onboard an inspected passenger vessel when loosely crimped lugs overheated. While no one was injured and the vessel sustained minimal damage, ...

There is not a single solution on how to mitigate fires from lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. Strategies and concerns will continue to change as car manufactureres continue to release ...
