Article Synopsis
  • Aging leads to the buildup of proteins that behave like amyloid, but how these proteins form isn't fully understood.
  • Researchers found that errors in messenger RNA cause amyloid-like proteins to be produced in various human cell types, including stem cells and neurons.
  • These errors increase with DNA damage, which is commonly associated with aging, suggesting a connection between normal aging processes and age-related diseases.

Understanding the failure mechanisms of lithium-ion batteries is essential for their greater adoption in diverse formats. Operando X-ray and electron microscopy enable the evaluation of concentration, phase, and stress heterogeneities in electrode architectures. Phase-field models are commonly used to capture multi-physics coupling including the interplay between electrochemistry and mechanics.
