With the number of electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States projected to skyrocket to 26.4 million by 2030, the need is great for not only producing, but improving, the safety and efficiency of the batteries that power them, as well as cell phones, autonomous unmanned vehicles and smart electronics. Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, are doing their part to ensure Alabama is leading the way to power this coming revolution.
