Magnesium batteries could store more energy than lithium. New materials make ions move faster, pointing to smaller batteries ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have taken a significant step toward the development of a battery that could outperform the lithium-ion technology used in electric cars such as ...

The presence of ions affects the structure and dynamics of water on a multitude of length and time scales. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and theoretical analyses show that the water ...

Magnesium ion battery technology has emerged as a promising alternative to lithium‐ion systems due to the natural abundance, high volumetric capacity and enhanced safety profile of magnesium. The ...

A lithium ion battery essentially works by using lithium (ions?!) to ferry electrons back and forth between a positive and a negative electrode. These are basically electrical freighters that load up ...

Magnesium has been referred to as "the forgotten electrolyte". Like sodium, potassium, and calcium, magnesium becomes a positively charged ion (cation) in the body, where it is responsible for ...

Bone-regenerating treatments are in high demand due to the ageing population. Increasingly, the orthopaedic biomaterials used to support these treatments are designed to be "immunomodulatory", i.e., ...
