Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a novel approach to detect impending lithium-ion battery fires by analyzing sound. This innovative technology leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize the distinct noise made by a breaking battery safety valve—providing crucial warning time before a fire occurs. Why Early Detection Matters Lithium-ion […]
