The first truly flexible digital X-ray detector will be aimed at industrial radiography applications, as it can be wrapped around pipes and fed into tight spaces to check for corrosion and weld defects. Digital images will be generated at the point of use, without the film having to be sent away for chemical processing – saving time and money compared with traditional radiographic film.

Lithium-ion batteries—the most common cells used in electric and hybrid cars—produce current when lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode. Colder temperatures can slow this process down and restrict battery performance. When a battery is delivering peak output in hot weather, latent defects in the battery can cause catastrophic failure.
