Water-containing layered materials have many potential applications, such as water purification and energy storage. However, the link between interlayer ion configuration and water architecture in ...

A new approach to blue energy tackles one of the field’s most persistent problems: how to move ions quickly without sacrificing selectivity.

Synthetic anion binders could one day help treat the chronic lung disease. A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs ...

(Nanowerk News) Investigating the interplay between the structure of water molecules that have been incorporated into layered materials such as clays and the configuration of ions in such materials ...

Osmotic energy, often called blue energy, is a promising way to generate sustainable electricity from the natural mixing of ...

These 10 – 30 second, unnarrated animations are chemically accurate representations of what's happening on the atomic level in some common chemistry outreach activities. Use them to help illustrate ...

Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have built a calcium-ion battery that retains roughly three-quarters of its capacity after 1,000 charge-discharge cycles, a result ...

In the space between layers, any pores that are not filled with ions get filled with water molecules instead, helping to stabilize the layered structure. "Put another way, the water structures are ...

Bing Gong, UB Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry, led a research team that developed molecules than can bind to and carry chloride ions out of cells. This could help treat cystic ...
