New research has uncovered a surprising cause behind short circuits in next-generation solid-state batteries, ...

Brittle, microscopic metal filaments called dendrites are now firmly established as a primary driver of lithium-ion and solid-state battery failure, according to a growing body of peer-reviewed ...

Image representing the old synaptic (red) and new dendritic (green) learning scenarios of the brain. In the center a neuron with two dendritic trees collects incoming signals via many thousands of ...

New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to design computing systems that operate more like the brain have pushed engineers to rethink how information is processed, transmitted, and stored. Biological neurons are ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...
