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.

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

A multiscale cellulose hydrogel reported in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts delivers 10.27 mS cm-1 ionic ...

MOLINE, Ill. — Snowflakes are frozen water crystals that can never be an exact replica of another. However, snowflakes can be classified into these broader types: dendrites, plates, columns, needles, ...

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 ...

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 ...
