Recent weeks have seen a confluence of financing, policy, and material science that is moving solid‑state batteries from prototype to near‑commercial scale. Samsung SDI secured a KRW 2 trillion (US$1.38 billion) rights offering in March 2025 to build all‑solid‑state production lines in…

Key developments this week show solid‑state batteries moving from lab breakthroughs to pilot‑scale production and clear commercial roadmaps. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute identified how soft lithium dendrites fracture ceramic electrolytes, a finding that explains long‑standing failure modes…

Key developments are rapidly closing the gap between laboratory breakthroughs and commercial deployment of solid‑state batteries. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute identified how soft lithium dendrites penetrate and fracture stiff ceramic electrolytes, a flaw that caused short…
