An international research team developed a superionic conductor that negatively charged hydrogen, called hydride ions, diffuses fast. Superionic conductors promise clean, renewable energy -- at the ...

Sharks have a sixth sense that helps them locate prey in murky ocean waters. They rely on special pores on their heads and snouts, called ampullae of Lorenzini, that can sense electric fields ...

A new ion superhighway modeled after human cells could speed our batteries way up. Digging out a nanochannel for charged ions turned a “rat’s nest” into a superfast conductor. These materials were ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold gas of atoms confined to a single line, countless collisions occur—but ...

The development of highly efficient energy storage devices that can store renewable energy is crucial to a sustainable future. In today’s world, solid-state rechargeable lithium ion (Li +) batteries ...
