"traditional lithium-metal battery uses electrode coated in metallic lithium, storing 10X more lithium leading to better performance, but also formation of microscopic filaments with protruding spikes thatt can cause dangerous shorting... new method deposits lithium faster avoiding corrosion layer, using smaller electrode to push electricity out more quickly, enabling a previously unseen form, tiny 12-sided shapes known as rhombic dodecahedrons that pack orderly and densely"
