Researchers solved the mystery of how soft lithium dendrites crack the hard ceramic inside solid-state batteries, triggering ...

Tiny structural weak spots inside the solid electrolyte known as grain boundaries.

Next-generation batteries that use new electrolyte materials could achieve far higher energy density than today's lithium-ion ...

Scientists at the United States Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a root cause of dendrite formation, which can cause battery failure and even fires in lithium-ion technology. With ...

An international research team involving scientists from the University of Vienna, the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw and University of Edinburgh has described the process of growing ...

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and ...

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 ...

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 ...
