Now, researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, led by Chongmin Wang, have made significant strides in understanding lithium dendrite formation.Using in situ growth studies, they gained ...

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 ...

Linking structure and process in dendritic growth using persistent homology with energy analysis. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, 2025; DOI: 10.1080/27660400.2025.2475735; ...

Potassium fluoride (KF) prevents dendrite growth, while zinc (Zn) nanocrystals enhance conductivity and ion transport. This dual-layer interface stabilizes the anode, allowing smooth ion and ...

Understanding the growth dynamics of 3-D mineral dendrites has important implications for various fields, including physics, geology, material science, and even the study of extraterrestrial ...
