Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Liquid electrolytes enable fast ion transport but can raise safety concerns, and lithium metal anodes—despite their high capacity—can grow dendrites that trigger short circuits and rapid failure.

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid ...

NJBIZ, New Jersey’s leading business journal, provides 24/7 business news coverage and events honoring top business professionals.

Dendrite branching has an important role in normal brain function. Here we report that overexpression of cypin, a protein that has guanine deaminase activity and is expressed in developing processes ...

Researchers at the Next-Generation Battery Research Center of Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) developed a 1D Li-confinable porous carbon structure with a hollow core, and a small ...

Lithium is regarded as a vastly superior electrode material due to its capacity (3860 mA•h•g-1) and the lowest negative electrochemical potential (-3.040 V vs. the standard hydrogen electrode). Today, ...
