Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

"The ghost is no longer in the machine. The machine is becoming the ghost." The post Researchers Upload Fly’s Brain to Matrix, Let It Control Virtual Body appeared first on Futurism.

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

Scientists have discovered a way to make molecules sitting on a flat surface rotate together using extremely short flashes of ...

锂枝晶在电解质和隔膜中的生长及渗透仍是实现高能量密度锂金属电池的关键难题。 基于学界普遍认为的锂金属的质地柔软性，采用机械强度高的电解质和隔膜一直被视为一种很有前景的策略。然而，在刚性固态电解质中，枝晶形成依然存在，这表明其具有不同的机械特性。 研究组采用无空气方案测量了单个锂枝晶的机械性能。结果意外发现，锂枝晶具有高强度和高脆性，其断裂应力超过150兆帕，这与具有延展性的块体锂金属截然不同。 低 ...
