A battery that charges fast, holds more energy, and stays safer under stress has become a kind of modern promise. You hear it ...

Electrochemically grown metal networks inside gels overcome the long-standing trade-off between strength and conductivity.

Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a common type of failure in lithium-ion batteries caused by the formation and growth of “dendrites,” findings that could aid in ...

Understanding how dendrites that form in thin films could be the key to next-generation materials for beyond-5G ...

A sucrose-modified aqueous electrolyte increases the mobility of zinc ions in response to the electric field and successfully achieves dendrite-free zinc batteries. (Courtesy: Nano Research, Tsinghua ...

Lithium metal, and certain other battery concepts, are known to have the potential for far better energy storage performance than today’s lithium-ion technologies. But lithium metal in particular is ...

These frozen puddles display beautiful patterns - spirals, tree rings, dendrites. Each one is unique. If you live somewhere ...

A new study out of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) has found that one part of the neurons in our brains is more active than previously revealed. The finding implies that our brains are ...

During development of the nervous system, countless connections must be formed between neurons. How axons and dendrites come together to make the functional circuits of the brain is a subject of ...

Dendrites are a problem in lithium-based rechargeable batteries. Over the many charge/discharge cycles, these tiny crystal growths form naturally on the lithium surface and create a kind of branching ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study reveals the reason: Our brains physically link memories that occur close ...
