Researchers have developed a new AI model that predicts dendritic growth in thin films, helping optimize thin-film growth processes. Thin films are grown by depositing tiny layers of materials onto a ...

Polymer electrolytes in lithium-metal batteries can still host dendrite growth deep inside, revealing a hidden failure mode and guiding safer, longer-lasting designs. (Nanowerk News) Lithium-metal ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

The PCA enabled the team to quantify the structural changes in dendrites and correlate these changes with Gibbs free energy. This relationship revealed the specific conditions and mechanisms that ...
