Lithium metal batteries have higher charge density than conventional lithium ion batteries but are prone to problems of tree-like metal dendrites, which can cause short circuits or explosions. A new ...

Dendrite morphogenesis is the biological process that allows the tree-like Purkinje cells of the cerebellum—which have multiple dendrites (tree branches) and just one trunk-like axon—to develop their ...

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 ...

A stellar dendrite is a snowflake with a classic star-shaped pattern, formed when ice crystals grow rapidly in cold, moist ...

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 ...
