Experience the magical Northern Lights, a stunning natural light show caused by solar wind and ion collisions.

Scientists observe the real-time ultrafast bonding of lithium ions with the solvents, in the same process that happens during charging and discharging of lithium batteries, and conclude that a new ...

The Conversation is an independent, nonprofit publisher of commentary and analysis, authored by academics and edited by journalists for the general public. On a mission “to promote truthful ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to ...

A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...

The researchers observed the processes triggered by the laser pulse using photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy. While the magnesium atoms combined to form a cluster, they were ionized with a second ...

The MIT study has created a new model, called the Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer (CIET) model, to advance lithium-ion batteries. The new model redefines the fundamental chemical reaction known as ...

Copper ions exchanged into zeolites are active for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) with ammonia (NH₃), but the low-temperature rate dependence on copper (Cu) ...
