In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical ...

Scientists have developed a membrane that can be tuned to selectively enhance or suppress ion flow, mimicking how living ...

Researchers have engineered ultra-thin ion-selective membranes with sub-2-nanometre channels, enabling more efficient clean ...

(a) Schematic of the interlayer structure in layered materials with different host charge densities. In the interlayer space, water molecules are incorporated into the pores that are not filled ...

Negative ions are molecules with an extra electron, giving them a negative charge. They are naturally produced in the environment, particularly near waterfalls, oceans, and after thunderstorms.

Researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Northwestern University have turned ...

Positively-charged particles are relatively easy to detect (if you happen to have a lunar orbiter) but negatively charged ions are short-lived and do not make it to that altitude, making detection ...

Critical role of water structure around interlayer ions for ion storage in layered double hydroxides. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-34124-9 ...
