New research identifies a simple strategy for combatting a major stumbling block in the development of next-generation ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Neurons in the human brain receive electrical signals from thousands of other cells, and long neural extensions called dendrites play a critical role in incorporating all of that ...

While lithium-ion batteries have become a global standard, the need for batteries with a higher energy densities is prompting more research into other promising battery architectures―one of which is ...

Figure 1: Subcellular patch-clamp recording from dendrites and axons of CA3 pyramidal neurons. Figure 2: Action potentials backpropagate into the dendrites of CA3 pyramidal neurons with large ...

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 ...

Dendrites—branching structures that look like tree limbs—are fun to draw and good on neurons, but they’re generally best avoided in lithium-ion batteries. As ions are exchanged between the anode and ...

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific Northwest ...

An international research team has achieved a major breakthrough in manganese research after discovering that the growth of three-dimensional manganese dendrites occurs through the accretion of ...

Recent technical advances have made possible the visualization and genetic manipulation of individual dendritic trees. These studies have led to the identification and characterization of molecules ...

New research by Brown University engineers identifies a simple strategy for combating a major stumbling block in the development of next-generation solid-state lithium batteries.

Neuroscientists have discovered that human dendrites have very different electrical properties from those of other species. These differences may contribute to the enhanced computing power of the ...
