From stars to needles to amorphous globs, scientists are demystifying a snowflake’s complex construction, showing how factors ...

For instance, the addition of europium (Eu) has been shown to refine the morphology of the primary Mg2Si particles from a coarse dendritic shape to a more desirable flat truncated octahedron shape.

Dendritic spine plasticity, as this change of dendrite shape is referred to, is more than the random movement of neuronal structures in the brain. In our recently published study, the extent of ...

Dendritic spines can rapidly change shape or volume while forming new synapses, part of the process called brain plasticity. Creating or eliminating synapses is a fundamental mechanism of brain ...
