Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials have uncovered how lithium dendrites ...

Two major studies have identified different mechanisms behind lithium dendrite growth in solid-state batteries, a key barrier to their commercialization. Researchers from MIT found electrochemical ...

Smartphones, electric vehicles and many portable devices rely on batteries. Their energy storage capacity, lifetime and ...

The brain has always been referred to as the super computer of the body. Millions of connections happen just to make a simple move like picking up a spoon or scratching an itch. The cerebral cortex is ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Within the human brain, neurons perform complex calculations on information they receive. Researchers at MIT have now demonstrated how dendrites — branch-like extensions that protrude ...

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 ...

Lithium dendrites snap like glass in batteries, exposing hidden risks and failure mechanisms in next generation energy ...

Researchers have discovered how neurons in the brain might allow some experiences to be remembered while others are forgotten. Using a unique microscope, they peered into the brain of a living animal ...

While the reason why Samsung Galaxy Note 7s have been catching fire has yet to be confirmed, the focus is on the device’s lithium-ion batteries. And those familiar with this technology have begun ...
