"We discovered that higher molecular asymmetry accelerates Li + kinetics, leading to a more stable SEI and longer cycle life under high-rate conditions," said Choi. "By optimizing both the ether ...

If we had to do merely with the ether that fills the interplanetary space and conveys energy through it, we could confine our attention to the mass and neglect the chemical nature of the ether.

Next, the researchers plan to explore other small-molecule catalysts that could have enzyme-like characteristics for making ...
