Long-wave infrared birefringent crystals are essential materials in infrared optical applications in fields such as infrared ...

A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of ...

Researchers injected CO2 gas into seawater while applying an electrical current. The process transformed dissolved ions, minerals in seawater into clusters of solid particles. The clusters hold over ...

Now, Northwestern's new strategy addresses this challenge by locking away CO 2 permanently and turning it into valuable materials, which can be used to manufacture concrete, cement, plaster and paint.

A safer way to extract metals. Old lithium-ion batteries contain valuable metals like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese, which can be reused in new batteries. Most current re ...

In particular, the authors highlighted various aspects of the structural data available for metal cation-protein complexes and examined the quality of modeling of metal ion binding sites across ...

This structure is realized by bonding two silicon wafers containing complementary halves of the structure and Au-Au facing bond interface. Each half was formed by Deep Reactive Ion Etching [DRIE ...

However, the main challenge in AZIBs is developing cathode materials that can efficiently accommodate divalent Zn 2+ ions. Two-dimensional (2D) materials like MXenes have emerged as strong candidates ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The vibrant blue of a morpho butterfly's wings doesn't come from pigments but from light interacting with microscopic structures on its surface ... the resulting spheres with ...

Copper acetate serves as the source of copper ions, which are incorporated into the activated carbon structure to enhance its adsorption properties. Bean husk acts as the carbonaceous precursor that ...

The positive electrode (anode, R) attracts negatively charged ions (hydroxide ions – OH-) and generates oxygen gas (O2). The negative electrode (cathode, S) attracts positively charged ions ...
