Atomic clocks have long been the gold standard for measuring time and frequency. Among them, optical clocks—using atoms like ...

“Breeder” reactors seek to manufacture tritium by bombarding lithium with neutrons. Lithium atoms exist as two stable isotopes: lithium-7 makes up 92.5 per cent of the element in nature and ...

A research team at UNIST has identified the causes of oxygen generation in a novel cathode material called quasi-lithium and proposed a material ... electronegativity between the two metal elements, ...

Just as we need the electromagnetic force to tell us about protons, neutrons, electrons and the richness of all the particles we know of—collectively called the Standard Model of particle ...

Scientists have discovered a way to recycle nearly 100 per cent of the materials within lithium-ion batteries. The eco-friendly method can help address the urgent need to deal with e-waste from ...

This approach, now being trialed in various forms worldwide, promises to offer a cleaner, more durable, and geopolitically flexible alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Here’s what you need to ...

for its just-closed acquisition of Arcadium Lithium, according to people familiar with the matter. A unit of the world’s second-biggest miner is looking to sell bonds in as many as eight parts ...

These particles are known as “hadronic particles” since they consist of hadrons, such as protons and neutrons ... primarily electrons and protons. The composition of cosmic rays primarily ...

"The structure of this molecule is quite simple, with lithium electrons at one end and the rest of it acting like a vehicle that transports lithium electrons into the aging battery. The vehicle ...

Two twisted boron nitride layers (blue and pink) create a crystal lattice at a distance in which electrons (gold) can arrange themselves in a regular pattern. Credit: Natasha Kiper / ETH Zurich ...
