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 ...

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 ...

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

Known for their performance race car research, UNC Charlotte engineers are expanding to explore safer ways to design lithium-ion batteries Researchers at UNC Charlotte’s Motor Sport and Automotive ...
