Water doesn’t behave the same way in a glass as it does as ice in your freezer. When water is heated to several thousand ...

Chemists have found a novel glass-forming liquid electrolyte that exhibits specific lithium-ion conduction. They study the speciation and dipole reorientation dynamics in the glass-forming liquid ...

A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...

Sodium-ion batteries are considered a promising and sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. However, high storage losses during the first charging ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...
