Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...

A new paper in Nature Physics shows that by cramming lots of rare-earth ions into a crystal, some will form pairs that act as highly coherent qubits, thus debunking the idea that solid-state qubits ...

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

Highly dilute metal ions can aggregate in a high-temperature ionic-liquid medium and form long-lived clusters. The unexpected finding, which is the result of a study that combines experiment and ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a study led by researchers at Weill ...

Lithium-ion batteries are seen as a solution for energy storage of the future and have become indispensable, especially in electromobility. However, when metallic lithium forms and deposits during ...

Chromatography of charged analytes is often challenging as they are not retained effectively on the commonly used reversed phase columns and elute in the dead volume. On columns with polar or aqueous ...

An innovative approach to battery materials could bring sodium-ion energy density and charging speeds far closer to those of ...
