Using artificial intelligence, battery researchers can speed up improvements in new material discovery and identify the optimal charging times to extend battery life. A team from Stanford, MIT and Toyota Research Institute is applying AI to determine the best method for charging an EV battery in 10 minutes that maximizes the battery's lifetime. “The AI aspect of our work is all about speeding up the research-and-development cycle so that we can iterate faster and faster,” says William Chueh, associate professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford and co-author of the study, which was published this year in Nature.
