A team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory drew inspiration from a fun kitchen experiment, oobleck, to develop a lithium‑ion battery additive that instantly solidifies on impact, helping to prevent fires if the battery is dropped or smashed. This drop‑in solution can be used with little change to existing battery production. Learn how oobleck could be the next big breakthrough in battery safety.
