A combined experimental and modeling study reveals the precise temperature, position, and stress window in which corner hot ...

A calibrated cellular automaton-finite element model now quantitatively predicts how casting temperature and cooling rate ...

Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body.

A comprehensive review explains how voids, grain boundaries, lithium diffusion and mechanical stress interact to drive dendrite growth in solid-state batteries. (Nanowerk News) Lithium metal anodes ...

Lithium metal anodes offer a theoretical energy density nearly double that of conventional graphite anodes – 454 Wh kg-1 compared to 314 Wh kg-1 at the cell level when paired with lithium nickel ...

Neurons receive thousands of signals via tree-like extensions called dendrites. Until now, these dendrites were thought to be relatively smooth cables that conduct electrical signals to the cell body.

One of the central mysteries of the brain is how it achieves so much with so little. At any given moment, it processes an entire world of input, pilots a body and generates conscious experience—all ...

The ability to adapt behavior flexibly to changing environments is a hallmark of intelligence. However, the biological mechanisms in the brain that are responsible for this cognitive flexibility ...

[Derek] So, we want to talk about sunrises and sunsets? [Adam] It can be that. It can be something else. Anything. [Derek] Okay. [Maya] Whatever that makes you think of. [Derek] Okay. [Adam] What ...

The cost to put food in cans remains high because manufacturers must still import steel from overseas. U.S. Steel plans to reopen a tin-plate factory. Rolls of tin-plated steel at Ohio Coatings in ...

Every experience we have changes our brain, the way a ceramicist reshapes a slab of clay. Every corner we turn, every conversation we have, every shudder we feel causes cascading effects: Chemicals ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...
