Carbon nanotubes can open and close in response to acidity, guiding water and ions one by one and mimicking how natural cell ...

When water and ions move together through channels only a nanometer wide, they behave in unusual ways. In these tight spaces, water molecules line up in single file. This forces ions to shed some of ...

Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work properly, they require certain minerals—particularly ions of the metals ...

Quantum physics paints a strange picture of the world, one filled with spooky connections, unsettling uncertainties ...

Lithium metal batteries promise dramatically higher energy density than today's lithium-ion systems, yet their widespread use ...

A study from FAU has shown that lipid nanoparticles restructure their membrane significantly after being absorbed into a cell ...

Ever wondered what molecules stick around in your breath after eating candy? Ionicon’s applied science team recently took a ...

When an electric toothbrush vibrates against BSCT, the material produces a small electric field—an effect known as ...

An international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Innsbruck has developed a novel luminescent ...

New research shows that these fields speed up water dissociation not by lowering energy costs, but by increasing molecular disorder once ions form. The reaction becomes entropy-driven—exactly the ...

Spin correlations within a particle collider may help crack one of the biggest mysteries known, said physicist Zhoudunming Tu.

Rolling MXene sheets into scrolls at gram scale yields 33-fold conductivity gains and superconductivity at 5.2 K absent in ...
