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.

(Medical Xpress)—The well-behaved neuron receives signals through its many dendrites to generate spikes on a single axon. The electrical energy of these signals is generally believed to be ...

Investigators are examining whether the formation of microscopic structures inside the Boeing Dreamliner's lithium-ion batteries played a role in twin incidents that prompted the fleet to be grounded.

Dendrites—branching structures that look like tree limbs—are fun to draw and good on neurons, but they're generally best avoided in lithium-ion batteries. As ions are exchanged between the ...

Researchers have learned the mechanisms behind a common type of failure in lithium-ion batteries caused by the formation and growth of 'dendrites,' findings that could aid in the design of ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT 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 ...

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific ...

Which in turn puts us back at the dendrites of the next set of neurons, and back to signaling via electrical impulses. It is all exquisite engineering. The physical basis of electrical impulses in ...

Researchers revealed that battery-destroying dendrites are due to mechanical stress rather than electrochemical degradation.

In a great example of a low-cost research solution that could deliver big results, University of Michigan scientists have created a window for lithium-based batteries in order to film them as they ...

This study describes the properties of dendritic electrogenesis in rat hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neurons and distinguishes the functional differences between proximal dendrites and distal ...
