A team of more than 30 physicists and materials scientists published a detailed strategy for reaching room-temperature superconductivity, identifying the most promising material families, the biggest ...

Researchers have developed a solid electrolyte for transporting hydride ions at room temperature. This breakthrough means that the full advantages of hydrogen-based solid-state batteries and fuel ...

Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out the amount of hydrogen that can be stored in perovskite crystalline powder ...

Materials known as superconductors transmit electrical energy with 100% efficiency. They have a wide range of applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging in hospitals. However, these applications ...

Hydride transfer is an important reaction for chemistry (e.g., fuel cells), as well as biology (e.g., respiratory chain and photosynthesis). Often, one partial reaction involves the transfer of a ...

A research team led by Prof. Ping Chen at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), reported in Nature on September 17 that they created a new core–shell ...

Helium hydride ions, thought to be the first type of molecule to form in the universe, have finally been spotted in space. These charged molecules, each made of a neutral helium atom and a positively ...

Superconductivity came with a lot of unfulfilled promises. Power without loss? Sign me up. Superconducting magnetic resonance imaging magnets? They’re, ahem, cool. And CERN couldn’t operate without ...

Hydride ion (H⁻), with their low mass and high redox potential, are considered promising charge carriers for next-generation electrochemical devices. However, the lack of efficient electrolyte with ...

TOKYO — In a world where lithium ion power packs are the norm and buzz is building around solid-state batteries, old nickel-metal hydride batteries seem like yesterday's news. After all, Toyota has ...
