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 ...

The brain has always been referred to as the super computer of the body. Millions of connections happen just to make a simple move like picking up a spoon or scratching an itch. The cerebral cortex is ...

Neurons aren’t just brain cells—they’re intricate biological machines that transmit, process, and adapt to information using both electrical and chemical signals. Supported by glial cells, they form ...

A researcher team of the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials uncovers the mechanisms behind dendrite-induced ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lithium dendrite formation undermines lithium-metal batteries performance and can result in damage and safety hazards ...

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific Northwest ...
