A team from MIT-MRL including Prof. Yang Shao-Horn have mapped what happens at the atomic level in metal electrolysis. The work could become an important design tool for optimizing the production of metals such as lithium, iron and cobalt mitsha.re/9AqZ50J6piY 📸: Lesley Rock

A lot of damage inside nuclear reactors is so small it’s difficult to detect. Now Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers Michael Short, Scott Kemp, and DMSE’s Ju Li can measure the damage, potentially extending the lifetimes of nuclear power plants.
