The 2019 Nobel Prize for chemistry honours three men who contributed to the development of this ubiquitous power storage device
Cutting the cost of batteries is arguably the industry's most urgent challenge
Scientists and engineers have spent entire careers trying to build better batteries and there are still mysteries that we don't fully understand
The jump in lithium output has swelled China's battery maker's earnings
