SCIENCE | HISTORY | KNOWLADGE on Instagram: "Lithium-ion battery fires are intense because they involve a dangerous chain reaction called thermal runaway — a rapid, uncontrollable rise in temperature where the battery heats itself faster than it can cool down. Once one cell overheats, it releases flammable gases, which ignite and heat nearby cells, causing a domino effect. But here’s the surprising part: despite the myths, water is one of the most effective tools to stop this reaction. When wate
