A team at Tokyo University of Science (TUS) has identified a structural mechanism by which adding small amounts of scandium to layered sodium manganese oxide cathodes slows the degradation that ...

Leavening agents rarely attract attention beyond the moment a cake rises or fails, yet their chemistry shapes texture, ...

A novel satellite-based method to track fossil fuel CO2 emissions with greater precision than ever before marks a ...

Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a ...

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science showed that sodium-ion batteries with hard carbon anodes can charge faster than lithium-ion batteries by using a diluted electrode method that reveals sodium ...

As the world moves toward cleaner energy and electric technologies, better batteries are becoming more important than ever. Batteries power everything from phones and laptops to electric vehicles and ...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries, thanks to sodium’s abundance and low cost, but their true charging speed remains uncertain due to ...

We teamed up with Cody's Lab to cut pure sodium metal. The sodium reacts explosively with water, creating fireballs and ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...
