A team at Sandia National Laboratories has created the world’s smallest battery. Its anode is a single nanowire one seven-thousandth the thickness of a human hair. The tiny rechargeable lithium-based battery was formed inside a transmission electron microscope (TEM) at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies. Next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, laptops, and cell phones should improve with its usage, the labs said. The team’s findings have important implications for high-energy battery design and insight into preventing battery failure.”]
