In a simplified picture, the electrons act as a magnifying glass, providing experimental access to the structure of the tiny atomic nucleus. Interactions between the electrons and the nucleus give ...

A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt from water without relying on the terminal electrodes found in every ...

Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.

A research team has developed an innovative membrane that mimics biological ion channels to achieve highly selective lithium ion separation from complex brines. Their study is published in Nature ...
