Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have gained attention in the process of fuel cell development because they operate in alkaline environments, the redox reaction rate at the electrodes is ...

Swirling together immiscible liquids in a separatory funnel or seeing crystals materialize in a beaker might be some of the more entertaining activities in undergraduate chemistry labs. But these ...

Huang Feihe at Zhejiang University, Jonathan Sessler of the University of Texas at Austin, and colleagues reported a novel cation recognition mode which mimics the biological allosteric effect and ...
