But whether they are used to find crab grass on golf courses, create roof damage reports for insurance companies, or find lost camper...

Lithium-ion batteries contain more energy per unit of weight than conventional batteries, which, while contributing to their success, also triggers safety concerns. These same properties that result in high-energy density also pose potential hazards if the energy is released at a fast, uncontrolled rate. Therefore, safety is of great interest to the industry, resulting in areas of intense research. The 6th Annual Battery Safety conference addr...

According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, America faces challenges in providing future space-based capabilities.
