One of the fundamental questions in the search for the "theory of everything" is whether fundamental constants possibly vary. To prove this in the case of the fine-structure constant, for instance, ...

To demonstrate the potential of chemical dynamics as a computing resource, researchers developed a method for building physical reservoirs based on the electrochemical reactions of solutions placed on ...

THE statement that a metal will always displace any other metal below it in the potential series from solutions of its salts is well known not to be true in practice. As an example, the standard way ...

THE interaction of simple ions with plant cells has been frequently studied, and it has been found that in some cases cations and anions are both absorbed in the vacuoles 1, while under different ...

New ion beam fabrication uses low cost materials to form vertical nanomagnets whose nanostrip geometry boosts sensitivity to magnetic fields and current pulses. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at HZDR ...

Understanding and predicting how molecules recognize each other are the key issues in the field of supramolecular chemistry and biology, etc., where the non-covalent bindings play an essential role.

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan. When you purchase ...

Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to bad treatment. Fire, explosions, and other hazardous condition may occur when you charge the cell below the margin that the manufacturer defines. Modern battery ...

Tianbo Liu, assistant professor of chemistry at Lehigh University, was recently named the recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Liu was awarded $450,000 to fund research for a ...
