Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

Huang Feihe at Zhejiang University, Jonathan Sessler of the University of Texas at Austin, and colleagues reported a novel cation recognition mode which mimics the biological allosteric effect and ...

During breakfast on a recent business trip to New York City, I chatted with a young executive from Chicago who came to the Big Apple for a long weekend vacation. When I asked her why she hadn’t ...

University of Limerick researchers develop the world’s first dual-cation battery combining lithium and sodium for improved ...

Very unusual atomic states are being produced: Ions are created by removing not just one but 20 to 40 electrons from each atom. These 'highly charged ions' play an important role in current research.

Scientists know some of the broad strokes for how life emerged from primordial Earth, but digging into the processes that ...

An international team of researchers, including members from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), has directly observed "highly charged muonic ions," ...
