A few years ago, a group of physicists created an unusual, never-before-seen subatomic particle. Using a particle accelerator at Riken, a Japanese research institute, they slammed streams of calcium ...

A new class of solid-state sodium-ion batteries could reshape the future of electric vehicles and renewable energy storage ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Most of today's batteries are made up of rare lithium mined from the mountains of South America. If the world depletes this source, then battery production could stagnate.

The worldwide push for sustainability requires better, more durable batteries to support renewable energy systems and ubiquitous electronic devices.

WEST LAFAYETTE – Purdue University researchers are working to make your gadgets and gizmos run more efficiently. They’re using sodium carbonate, which is really similar to the table salt we use every ...

Scientists have long tried to find a cheaper and better alternative to lithium batteries and we’ve seen much promising research before. So far not much has come from it, so let us hope it will be ...

As the world moves toward cleaner energy and electric technologies, better batteries are becoming more important than ever.

In recent years, the popularity of sodium-ion batteries has suddenly risen. Chinese companies such as Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), Gotion Hi-Tech, EVE Energy and BYD are all engaging in ...

Sodium, ubiquitous on Earth in living organisms, oceans and minerals — all the way to table salt — may seem like one of the more ordinary elements. Margit S. Müller highlights why we, like the ...

Sodium carbonate or soda (Na 2 CO 3) was the most popular sodium compound in ancient times. Soda was called as natron by the Egyptians and later, the Romans used a similar name for it, natrium which ...
