The battery failures resulted in release of flammable electrolytes, heat damage, and smoke on two Model 787 airplanes.
Further, Boeing's indications that heat damage in one battery cell would not harm adjacent cells proved false, Hersman said.
The malfunction, which released flammable electrolytes, causing heat damage and smoke, was the second of two recent serious incidents.

In the kitchen, Vasquez and Fogg discerned only smoke and heat damage a sign that the fire had not originated there and so they pushed deeper into the nine-hundred-and-seventy-five-square-foot building.
"It highlights the idea that electromagnetic radiation might act on cells by affecting the attractive forces between them rather than simply causing heat damage to tissue, " she said.
But based on preliminary information, the FAA decided that continued flight was too dangerous in light of the "release of flammable electrolytes, heat damage and smoke" that resulted from the pair of incidents earlier this month.
As many as 15 percent of the 5, 000 previously approved welds in the reactor's auxiliary plumbing, containment dome and spent-fuel cooling systems were X-rayed and found to be defective due to air pockets, poor soldiering and heat damage.

"If they stood on one leg consistently, they would risk greater loss of body heat and potential tissue damage in the cold, " says Anderson.
Three years later during STS-27, Atlantis' heat shield sustained severe damage from a piece of insulation that broke off of the right solid rocket booster during launch.

By the time Downing Street had turned the heat down again, the damage had been done.
Better yet, it features a "hard drive heater" for startup and operation in freezing temperature and enough internal diagnostics to prevent damage in extreme cold and heat.

Many of the health benefits of exercise are thought to be due to the synthesis of damage-controlling molecules called heat-shock proteins, and Dr Rattan's group has been experimenting with other ways of triggering these proteins.
The material uses what the researchers are calling 'shape-memory' polymers and have a fiber optic network embedded within them which acts as the damage sensor as well as the heat delivery system.

Most of the damage there was also from smoke and heat, suggesting that the fire had started farther down the hallway, and he headed that way, stepping over debris and ducking under insulation and wiring that hung down from the exposed ceiling.
In a thermal runaway, a battery releases energy in the form of heat, increasing the temperature of the battery and causing further damage.
As a result of damage to the rats' nerves, they became hypersensitive to heat and pressure.
The cause of death could have been the result of a fungal infection or animal damage, but because there was no obvious cause, she increasingly suspects drought and heat stress.

Such a change in temperature -- which many scientists believe is being caused by pollution trapping heat in the atmosphere -- would mean widespread droughts and floods and massive economic and natural damage, experts say.
