Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

New research has uncovered a surprising cause behind short circuits in next-generation solid-state batteries, ...

Researchers show chemical reactions, not just mechanical stress, drive dendrite growth in solid-state batteries, weakening materials, and offering new strategies to improve energy storage safety. <br ...

Brown University researchers have demonstrated a promising new strategy for combatting dendrite penetration in solid state lithium batteries. By heating one side of a solid electrolyte and cooling the ...

Scientists have achieved a monumental breakthrough in the realm of potassium-based batteries by developing a dendrite-free metallic-potassium anode. This innovation stabilizes the anode, which is ...

Treating the brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) demands more than conventional strategies due to a mix of factors including the cancer’s genetic complexity, invasive growth, and immune resistance. A new ...

A new study finds that retaining memories is maintained by the quality — not quantity — of dendritic spines, which are part of brain neurons. Experts used to think that memory loss was due to loss in ...

For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune ...

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 ...

Batteries that use solid metal as their charge-carrying electrolyte could potentially be a safer and far more energy-dense ...
