Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these ...

Non-valence bound state (NBS) of anion is ubiquitous and plays the essential role in the anion physics/chemistry. Here, state-specific chemical dynamics of the metastable NBSs (using the picosecond ...

Ion atmospheres play a critical role in modulating the interactions ... while the counterions and additional salts present may receive little attention. (15) For example, in the protein field, weak ...

In a dark coincidence, the researchers point to California's current catastrophe as a timely example of their recently published findings. "In that publication, fairly incredibly, we use the example ...

For example, the study simulates how the competitiveness of sodium-ion would be accelerated if supply shocks were to occur to graphite -- a critical material used in lithium-ion batteries where ...

Continuing to rely so heavily on lithium-ion batteries as more energy storage is needed for the global transition to sustainable energy will pose security, economic, and geopolitical risks. For ...

The question now is: will they? And if the Trump administration moves forward with Mars Sample Return (MSR), what will it look like? Could it involve a human mission to Mars instead of a series of ...

Following months of deliberation, NASA has decided to pursue two alternative routes for its Mars Sample Return program, one of which elicits the help of the private industry. During a media ...
