Up until now we have been discussing only the elemental forms of atoms which are neutrally charged. This is because the number of electrons (negative in charge) is equal to the number of protons ...

While conducting an otherwise straightforward investigation into the assembly mechanism of calcium-phosphate clusters, researchers at UC Santa Barbara and New York University (NYU) made a surprising ...

Computational simulations show that the common dye quinizarin binds lithium ions strongly, spontaneously and exothermically in water, making it a promising molecular matrix for lithium detection and ...

High-performance electrodes for lithium-ion batteries can be improved by paying closer attention to their defects—and capitalizing on them, according to Rice University scientists. Rice materials ...
