A new breakthrough battery--one that has significantly higher energy, lasts longer, and is cheaper and safer--will likely be impossible without a new material discovery. And a new material discovery could take years, if not decades, since trial and error has been the best available approach. But Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientist Kristin Persson says she can take some of the guesswork out of the discovery process with her Electrolyte Genome.
