AI detects early warning sounds of lithium-ion battery failures

- By Nuadox Crew -

NIST researchers have developed an AI-based method to detect early warning sounds from lithium-ion batteries before they catch fire.

The system identifies the distinct "click-hiss" sound produced by a breaking safety valve—caused by internal pressure buildup—just minutes before thermal runaway occurs.

By training a machine learning algorithm on audio from 38 battery failures and generating over 1,000 unique samples, the team achieved a 94% detection accuracy.

This technology could lead to specialized fire alarms for homes, offices, and battery-dense locations, offering critical time for evacuation and reducing fire risks.

Only in Children of Time would you ever find a space battle between hyper-intelligent spiders and octopi with an AI stored in a shit ton of ants with a god complex controlling the spider's ship.

Gonna go on a small rant here.

Adrian Tchaikovsky writes other species/alien species so well. Like, so well. He has ideas that are so out there I would never even think of them, let alone know how to incorporate it. He's just so good at writing something so entirely different from anything people are used to, and I love that. It makes everything in the books 100x better, and much more intriguing.

He also does a great job with the science-y side of it. He manages to fit in all of this random information about cell structures and DNA and technology and how the different species think, and it's seamlessly incorporated with the rest of the story. Nothing gets bogged down by a random bunch of information about how different the cells of the animals on this new planet are, because it fits. He's not just putting it there for "oh hey, it's a sci-fi book, gotta have some science-y mumbo jumbo in there," no, it actually adds to the story. It serves to show just how different, how alien everything is.

Go read the books, I'd recommend them for anyone who enjoys sci-fi and can get through fairly wordy books. They're around 500-600 pages each.

it’s really funny being a dc fan with a favourable opinion of Scott Snyder who also dislikes most of the DCEU. It’s like, sure I love synder’s take on Batman 😊 But not the Snyder you are thinking of I guess

I just came across a reference to a Japanese movie from the 1950s - “Warning from Space”. It was released in January, 1956. It featured starfish-like aliens that want to help Earth.

The aliens look remarkably like Starro the Conqueror from DC Comics. It first appeared in The Brave and the Bold#28 (March 1960) which also introduced the Justice League of America.

I wonder if either Gardner Fox or Mike Sekowsky saw Warning from Space and swiped its design?

though.. reading the title...

it kinda makes me want to dance with my moonlight.. and my sunshine.. and my jellyfish..

do you think they'd dance with me if i asked? hehe~

there's already too many Steves in media and I made the mistake of naming a new character that while I found a better name and damnit it stayed.

(thankfully it's not a hot guy that can be shipped with another hot guy. this Steve is a coffee machine.)

(but a luxury brand coffee machine so maybe yeah he's hot.)

just got to S1E45, Rose's Scabbard. every single line out of Pearl's mouth in this episode just stunlocks me knowing the truth of it all.

like the utterly anguished "I was the one she told everything!" - I'd go a little ballistic here too
