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 ...

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 ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days. A ...

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 ...
