Established technique, new field To create this structure, the researchers heated a metastable form of sodium hydridoborate until it began to crystallize, then cooled it rapidly to lock the structure ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Lithium-ion batteries, with their high energy density and long lifetimes, have dominated the rechargeable battery market for decades. However, lithium's scarcity and rising cost ...

A research team has developed a new cathode material that significantly improves the environmental stability and cycling performance of sodium-ion batteries. By designing a radial gradient ...

UB chemist Jason Benedict and his team spent years developing photoswitchable crystals. Every crystal’s shape is a mirror of the internal arrangement of their molecules, but the molecules in ...
