Structure of Solid-State Material

Caption

An illustration of the hybrid crystalline-liquid atomic structure in the superionic phase of Ag8SnSe6 — a material that shows great promise for allowing commercial solid-state batteries. The tube-like filaments show the liquid-like distribution of silver ions flowing through the crystalline scaffold of tin and selenium atoms (blue and orange).
