Wasn't this widely known already?
They definitely knew batteries cycling causes degradation, but I think this is saying they found additional information on how it happens which might lead to future designs possibly mitigating this cause.
Yeah I wish the article went into more of those details instead of trying to create an analogy to breathing and the widely known facts about expansion during charging.
There are hints in the article that the study was more detailed, so hopefully this is just a poorly written article trying to “dumb it down” too much
That's basically all scientific journalism. If it was geared only towards people who have advanced knowledge, it would just be the journal article. It has to be dumbed down at least a little bit.
The problem is when the author either doesn't have the advanced knowledge to effectively dumb it down so it's inaccurate, or knowingly misrepresents the study to push an agenda (I see this one a lot)
me lik wen dumb down
