Recent research published in Science introduces a promising solid electrolyte material that could improve the performance of ...

Demand is booming for batteries that are faster, thinner and cheaper. We want electric cars and bikes that travel further, ...

Different atoms and ions possess characteristic energy levels. Like a fingerprint, they are unique for each species. Among ...

When immersed into water, most solids develop a surface charge, which is neutralized by an accumulation of dissolved counterions at the interface. Although the density distribution of counterions ...

Very unusual atomic states are being produced: Ions are created by removing not just one but 20 to 40 electrons from each atom. These 'highly charged ions' play an important role in current research.

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

To rewrite an Alanis Morissette song, the brain has a funny way of waking you up (and putting you to sleep). Isn’t it ionic? Some scientists think so. Changes in ion concentrations, not nerve cell ...
