Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading ...

Lithium-ion batteries have become essential in everyday technology. But these power sources can explode under certain circumstances and are not ideal for grid-scale energy storage. Sodium-ion ...

Lithium-ion batteries are in our phones, computers, luggage, and even cars. Compared to fossil fuels, like oil and gas, rechargeable batteries like these are meant to be a more sustainable option, but ...

Electric vehicles are colliding with a hard reality: lithium is expensive, supply chains are fragile, and safety concerns ...

A new sodium-ion battery offers a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems, scientists say, paving ...

An international team of researchers reveals an ion transport mechanism of sodium/proton antiporter by simulating its motion. Based on the simulations, they now design a faster transporter by making ...
