Mechanical forces in the nervous system play a corrective role
Nerve cells communicate with one another via long processes known as axons and dendrites, or, more generally, neurites.
Researchers find new mechanism to turn on cancer-killing T cells
In a new study, researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University of Amsterdam have brought insight into one crucial step in the anti-cancer immune response process: T cell priming.
New Technique Extends Next-Generation Lithium Metal Batteries
Columbia Engineering researchers have found that alkali metal additives, such as potassium ions, can prevent lithium microstructure proliferation during battery use. They used a combination of microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and computational modeling to discover that adding small amounts of potassium salt to a conventional lithium battery electrolyte produces unique chemistry at the lithium/electrolyte interface, and modulates degradation during battery operation, preventing the growth of microstructures and leading to safer, longer lasting batteries.
Protective coating, interfacial layer to improve lithium-ion battery performance
Researchers are developing new materials to help improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
