As the electric vehicle era enters full scale, demand is increasing for batteries that can travel farther and last longer.

Metal batteries, with active metals as anodes, are considered as one of the most promising solutions to achieve the energy upgrade of battery technologies, yet their practical applications are ...

Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth processes. Thin films are grown by depositing tiny layers of materials onto a ...

Scientists have uncovered a root cause of the growth of needle-like structures -- known as dendrites and whiskers -- that plague lithium batteries, sometimes causing a short circuit, failure, or even ...

Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized the way we power our gadgets, and they even nabbed the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year. But scientists want to make even more powerful versions. Replacing ...

Glia (light green) respond to the loss of dendrite cilia (dark pink) by accumulating excess extracellular matrix (dark green). Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial ...

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 ...

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 ...
