An acetylcholine receptor (green) forms a gated ion channel in the plasma membrane. This receptor is a membrane protein with an aqueous pore, meaning it allows soluble materials to travel across the ...

Lithium-ion batteries have played a vital role in the development of electric vehicles and we love them for that. But at the same time, lithium is expensive to produce, unstable in high temperatures, ...

With potential safety improvements and lower manufacturing costs, Na-ion batteries are coming of age at precisely the right ...

New technology has allowed scientists to create ultra short ion pulses, with a duration of less than 500 picoseconds. This can be used to analyze materials or even make chemical reactions visible in ...

A review of Ion Beam technology is presented in this paper. The key applications and benefits of using ion beam technology for etching processes in comparison to technology such as plasma etching will ...
