Determining the charge of an atom is easy in most cases but not all. Atoms are held together by the electromagnetic forces between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons surrounding it, and this means that most of the time there isn't actually much to work out. But when elements lo...
That's similar to what's happening on an atomic level with an ion exchange. So how does it work? To replace sodium with potassium, you first must break the ionic bond sodium has with the glass. That's why the potassium salt bath is so hot -- Corning says the bath reaches a ...
Get the full story on how car batteries work, including what they're made of, how they power your car and how to recharge them once they're out of charge.
We all know a fitness junkie who is never seen without theirFitbit(or maybe it's you), and it's easy to understand why. These unassuming devices can track a myriad of health markers, such as heart rate, steps, breathing, sleep, workout zones, and more. However, once in a while, y...
Hazard and risk assessment of nanomaterials (NMs) face challenges due to, among others, the numerous existing nanoforms, discordant data and conflicting results found in the literature, and specific challenges in the application of strategies such as grouping and read-across, emphasizing the need for...
A clever, cute logo isn’t a prerequisite, but when creating the design language for your product, think about how the community might engage with it. Reddit, Github, and Ionic have figured out how to get people excited about their mascots/icons and Lynch says...
In an earlier work we showed for a simple model that a slow voltage sweep charges ultranarrow pores quicker than an abrupt voltage step. A slowly applied voltage avoids ionic clogging and co-ion trapping—a problem known to occur when the applied potential is varied too quickly—causing ...

A series of model solutions containing different electrolytes were prepared to evaluate the influence of pH, ionic strength on zeta potential and rheological behavior of quartz. Based on the characteristics of quartz, the rheological mechanism of cement-quartz paste was interpreted. Throughout the work...
Toidentify the problemand tomotivateour research work, we received insights into a large German EV charging station operator, who described the problem as follows. In the near feature, much more EVs will have the need to charge while the charging infrastructure (power supply and space) in urba...
