In science, there is a surprisingly long list of things we still haven’t exactly figured out yet but still use because they work. This unexpectedly has been the case for lithium-ion batteries—a power source for electric vehicles and various portable electronics—where scientists knew what the mechanism was but weren’t sure exactly how it worked. Fortunately, MIT scientists have found the …
