Flying requires intense power during takeoff and landing, and sustained power during flight, posing a challenge for battery technology. Conventional batteries can’t fulfill this dual role due to limited understanding of complex reactions at the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Omics, a holistic approach used in biology to study cell components and their interactions, could help researchers better understand and improve battery performance, similar to how it has advanced knowledge in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.
