Some quantum systems are so complex that even the most powerful supercomputers struggle to simulate their behavior. One ...

Alkaline and lithium-ion batteries serve very different purposes. Here's how they compare on lifespan, cost, rechargeability, ...

Lithium-ion batteries are miraculous. They’re strong enough to run a vehicle, and they can be recharged at any outlet. Their commercial debut, in 1991, and popularization over the next two decades, ...

Ion transport is the movement of ions across a membrane, passively through ion channels or actively through ion pumps such as symporters and antiporters.

Silicon-carbon technology sure packs plenty of benefits over traditional lithium-ion batteries. The technology has evolved ...

The five-year agreement extends an existing partnership into sodium-ion storage across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Lithium-ion batteries and devices containing these batteries should NOT go in household garbage or recycling bins. To prevent fires, tape battery terminals and/or place lithium-ion batteries in ...

Range anxiety, recycling and fast-charging fears could all be consigned to electric-vehicle history with a nanotech-driven Australian battery invention. The graphene aluminum-ion battery cells from ...

The first electric cars with sodium-ion battery from CATL will be made by Chery, as BYD also readies its own Na-ion cells for mass production this year, probably in the Seagull. The cheap and safe ...

Ion exchange resins are materials — composed of organic polymer beads or membranes — which simultaneously trap and release ions for the purpose of purifying or decontaminating liquids. Ions are ...

Ion channels are transmembrane proteins specifically involved with the transport of inorganic ions like Na+, K+, Ca2+, or Cl-. Ion channels are “gated”, i.e. they open in response to a specific ...
