Scientists from the University of Groningen and the ESRF have demonstrated how a protective polymer coating can overcome obstacles that make high-energy-density #batteries not available commercially yet.
Their results are out now.

Scientists have demonstrated - for the first time - a molecular magnet that remains magnetic well above room temperature.
They used cutting-edge X-ray dichroism at ESRF beamline ID12.
