A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a framework for designing solid-state batteries, or SSBs, with mechanics in mind. Their paper, published in Science, reviewed how these factors change SSBs during their cycling.

As electrical current flows through a battery, the materials within it gradually deteriorate.
