every cycle of charge and discharge causes batteries to expand and contract, similar to human breathing. This action causes battery components to warp just a tiny amount, putting strain on the battery and weakening it over time.
I like when scientists have fun with describing things.
When my door sticks on humid days I should say it’s because my doorframe is breathing.
‘Breathing’ is already used for the exchange of outside and inside air for homes. In many contexts it is about the difference in internal and external humidity!
The door frame moving as part of that exchange is close, but not quite accurate.
the door and doorframe swelling from humidity is literally like certain body parts swelling from additional liquids, so you could tell them your foor frame is in heat.

I don’t know if they’ll appreciate it, but they need to know!
i believe this is the job of science communicators who try to explain complicated processes and ideas so that people outside of that specific scientific field can also understand what’s going on

Woodworkers will tell you wood is a living material
Woodworker here. If your wood is still alive, try hitting it with a hammer to put it out of it’s misery.

Definitely!
