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 ...

Researcher Yang He adds a sample to the environmental transmission electron microscope. He is one of the researchers Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory that discovered the ...

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 the reason why Samsung Galaxy Note 7s have been catching fire has yet to be confirmed, the focus is on the device’s lithium-ion batteries. And those familiar with this technology have begun ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

The brain is an incredibly complex organ. It powers and controls every bodily function, processes thoughts and memories, and learns and adapts to whatever we do and wherever we go. While there is a ...

Dendritic cells are divided into Type 1 (DC1) and Type 2 (DC2) dendritic cells. Each type fulfills different functions: DC1 provide an immune response to bacteria and viruses, DC2 protect against ...

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 ...

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 ...
