Doping a liquid crystal with azobenzene molecules can induce reversible changes in its thermal conductivity under light irradiation. These findings have been reported in a new collaboration between ...
New research shows the key role of thermal fluctuations in sustaining the 'relay race' of charges needed to maintain electrical current in room temperature ionic liquids. A collaborative investigation ...

Advanced layered electrolyte delivers liquid-like speed for solid-state batteries
A team of Chinese researchers has developed a flexible composite solid electrolyte that delivers ...
You would use flow-through conductivity sensors in “any application where the measurement of liquid conductivity or the percent concentration of a liquid is required,” states Nick Nichols, product ...
Some of the most revealing signals about human health are carried in fluids that are almost impossible to measure.
From these collective studies, we found that in general, the use of higher salt dopant content in the liquid electrolyte solutions afforded higher bulk ion conductivities in the resulting composites, ...
A GIF showing ion movement in an organic electrolyte in both a disordered fluid state and a self-assembled crystalline state. Green dots representing negative ions move erratically between long, ...
Electrostatically charged liquids underpin numerous applications from coatings and high-resolution printing to mass spectrometry. The charge provides a handle by which to control the droplets.
Research has shown that a number of metallic and nonmetallic nanoparticles are useful in increasing the thermal conductivity of a fluid in comparison to the base fluid. Particles such as Al 2 O 3, CuO ...
Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists from Oxford ...
