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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In mouse models Alzheimer's disease, oral administration of magnesium-L-threonate (MgT) alleviated cognitive decline, scientists report in a new article. New research published in the December 2015 ...

A magnesium blood test measures the amount of magnesium, an important mineral, in your blood. Your body needs magnesium from ...

Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous today, but our future, especially our automotive future, will need a different battery, one that has greater energy density, lower cost and is less prone to ...

The gene-editing technology known as CRISPR has led to revolutionary changes in agriculture, health research and more. In research published in Nature Catalysis, scientists at Florida State University ...

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., ...

Scientists have pioneered a method to enable the reversible chemistry of magnesium metal in the noncorrosive carbonate-based electrolytes and tested the concept in a prototype cell. The technology ...
