Osmotic energy, often called blue energy, is a promising way to generate sustainable electricity from the natural mixing of salt and fresh water. It exploits the voltage that arises when ions from ...

Plutonium (Pu) exhibits one of the most diverse and complex chemistries of any element in the periodic table. Since its discovery in 1940, scientists have synthesized and studied many different types ...

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 ...

Ion mobility adds a powerful new dimension to biopharma separations as complex therapeutics outgrow traditional LC–MS.

(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 ...

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 ...

Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

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 ...
