The Georgia Institute of Technology just found that the faster they charged a zinc-ion battery, the better it performed. A damaged battery even started healing itself. And another team has re-engineered the atomic twists that normally break a zinc-ion battery down… to make it stronger than ever. These aren't just lab curiosities. Zinc batteries can act as a safer, cheaper alternative to lithium for grid storage and home use. They can't catch fire. They're made from abundant materials. But they’ve had one fatal flaw that’s kept them from dethroning lithium: they don’t last long enough. So, how did scientists turn atomic jitters into resilience? How can fast-charging help a battery perform? And what does it mean for all of us?
