Inspired by a scene in Harry Potter, researchers at MIT have developed a new self-assembling battery material, “making it an easy-to-recycle alternative for manufacturing EV batteries,” reports Gayoung Lee for Gizmodo. “Notably, the process doesn’t require the harsh chemical and thermal conditions that make EV battery recycling so difficult, offering promising opportunities for recycling the batteries at scale,” Lee explains.
