Even very slight environmental noise, such as microscopic vibrations or magnetic field fluctuations a hundred times smaller ...

Ions play a vital role in regulating the antitumoral functions of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Protons, derived from endogenous ...

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

New evidence shows that a tiny barrier inside solid-state battery cells can decide whether fast-charging will be common in the near future.

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 ...

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...

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

Current connection: Schematic diagram of the ion-wire-ion system. Two ions are trapped at either end of an electrically floating wire that is at room temperature. (Courtesy: Da An) Scientists at the ...

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.

Using light and optical fibres to send information from point A to B is today a standard practice, but what if we could skip the “sending and carrying” steps entirely and simply read information ...
