Moroccan scientist Rachid Yazami has announced that he has been granted a new patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a pioneering technology aimed at the early detection of internal short circuits in batteries — the main cause of the dangerous phenomenon known as “thermal runaway,” which can lead to fires or explosions, especially in electric vehicles.
In a post on his personal Facebook account, Yazami emphasized that this innovation represents a significant step forward in electrical safety. The new technology is expected to have a major impact in reducing the risks associated with battery usage, as it allows for the early identification of short-circuit signals, giving manufacturers and users the opportunity to take preventive action before disaster strikes.
Yazami stated:
“We are proud to have been granted a patent for this innovation, which focuses on the early detection of internal shorts in batteries. We hope it will contribute to saving lives and protecting individuals from this very real danger — particularly in electric vehicles.”
Rachid Yazami is internationally recognized as one of the leading scientists in the field of electrochemistry and battery technology. He played a key role in developing the anode for lithium-ion batteries — a scientific breakthrough that has made him one of the most influential figures globally in this domain.
This latest invention is expected to boost confidence in electric technology, not only in the automotive sector, but also in other fields such as aviation, energy storage, and consumer electronics — paving the way for wider adoption of safer battery systems across industries.
