For the purpose of blood analyses and industrial tests, it is often necessary to measure the concentration of specific ions. At present, the relevant devices are large and cannot be produced at low ...

Lithium ion batteries dominate the energy storage sector from the scale of small portable devices to electric vehicles and even grid-scale electricity suppliers. Research is constantly ongoing to ...

Ion concentration polarisation (ICP) is a phenomenon that occurs when an ionic current is passed through an ion‐selective interface, such as a nanochannel or membrane, resulting in the formation of ...

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has developed over the years into a powerful analytical tool for elemental analysis. Over the past 40 years these techniques have been utilized to make molecular ...

Osmotic energy, often called blue energy, is a promising way to generate sustainable electricity from the natural mixing of salt and fresh water. It exploits the voltage that arises when ions from ...

A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...
