TL;DR: In this article, the authors visualized lithium dendrite growth dynamics on the Cu surface by in operando transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) and found that the aspect ratio (height/width) of deposited lithium has increased with charge passed during plating, indicating a faster growing from the base.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of interior microstructures of two types of Sn-containing particles, including Sn and SnSb, during initial cycles of electrochemical lithiation/delithation has been revealed by in situ synchrotron transmission X-ray microscopy, complemented with in situ Synchro-ray diffraction to provide phase information.

TL;DR: This work reveals that while it is the reduction of lattice size of electrode phases during charge that results in cracking of the Li2MnO3·LiMO2 electrode particle, crack healing is possible in the reverse solid-solution reaction occurring during discharge, and points to the minimization of behavior leading to phase separation, such as two-phase and oxygen evolution, as a key strategy in preventing capacity fade of the electrode.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an integrated protocol combining different types of cell configuration to determine various sources of irreversible coulombic efficiency in anode-free lithium metal cells and decrypted information from the protocol provides an insightful understanding of the behaviors of LMBs and AFLMBs, which promotes their development for practical applications.

TL;DR: Evidence of protein preservation in a terrestrial vertebrate found inside the vascular canals of a rib of a 195-million-year-old sauropodomorph dinosaur is reported, where blood vessels and nerves would normally have been present in the living organism.
