Electrochemically grown metal networks inside gels overcome the long-standing trade-off between strength and conductivity.

Researchers have demonstrated how dendrites -- branch-like extensions that protrude from neurons -- help neurons perform computations on information that comes in from other parts of the brain. Within ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic-controlled “dream battery” system that provides four times the energy storage capacity ...

A multiscale cellulose hydrogel reported in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts delivers 10.27 mS cm-1 ionic ...

If you've ever noticed how memories from the same day seem connected while events from weeks apart feel separate, a new study reveals the reason: Our brains physically link memories that occur close ...

Battery dendrites are not caused by electrical origins, but instead have mechanical sources. The dendrites propagate due to fracture of the electrolyte and subsequent crack filling-in. Stresses on the ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have achieved a breakthrough on the path to practical application of lithium ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days. A ...
