MRI Scan Can Repair A Battery

All of us might be aware that if any problem persists in a power storage, we have to break it open either to identify or to repair the problem. But we cannot think of repairing a battery without even touching it. That is what a team of scientists from Northeastern Center for Chemical Energy Storage and multi-disciplinary MRI research laboratory has claimed; and the technique suggested is MRI scans!
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technique used to detect body sickness. It gives a correct picture of patient's anatomy. But employing MRI scans in batteries was seen as a major hurdle because of the amount of metal present inside. These radio transmitted waves, if employed on metal, can lead the metal to break.

However, researchers have clarified that if the species of Lithium-ion and the places where they were concentrated on the electrode get identified, the chances of breaking a battery open are reduced.
