Enamel formation, or amelogenesis, is an intricate developmental process in which specialised epithelial cells known as ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins and orchestrate the mineralisation 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 reveal new mechanisms governing the storage and the movement of sodium ions in hard carbon nanopore anodes.

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 ...

Abstract Organic ice electrolytes in their frozen states are presented as molecular-solid Li+ conductors for lithium metal batteries (LMBs ...

Dot and cross diagrams help us to model when ions are formed from atoms. Here’s an example using sodium and chlorine. They form ions which bond to form sodium chloride. 2. Work out how many electrons ...

Scientists from Japan's Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) have used supercomputer simulations to unravel the physics of hard carbon (HC) anodes in sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). HC is a key ...

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 ...
