Research into "blobs" formed by worms and robots could help developers of swarm robots better utilize emergent behavior.

Solid-state batteries are charged and discharged in custom-made hardware designed at Georgia Tech. A smaller, modified version of the cell shown here was used to image these materials during cycling. (Credit: Matthew McDowell)

X-Ray Tomography Lets Researchers Watch Solid-State Batteries Charge, Discharge

Atlanta, GA

Using X-ray tomography, a research team has observed the internal evolution of the materials inside solid-state lithium batteries as they were charged and discharged.

BeamMap uses an electron beam to image topology, provide localized heating to promote desorption and allow precise determination of the location of the spray capillary and electrospray impact area for imaging. The electrosprayed liquid beam at a controlled energy level is used to desorb and charge analytes for chemical imaging in BeamMap.

New Instrument Will Uncover Structure and Chemical Composition on Sub-Cell Scale
