Heavy ion irradiation is a versatile technique for modifying materials at the nanoscale by directing high-energy ions onto a target. As these swift heavy ions penetrate matter, they deposit vast ...

Enamel formation, or amelogenesis, is an intricate developmental process in which specialised epithelial cells known as ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins and orchestrate the mineralisation of ...

The influence of bromide ion on the formation of nonpurgeable organic bromine and nonpurgeable organic chlorine was not studied previously because no analytical technique existed that could separately ...

The W value, defined as the average energy required to form an ion pair, has been measured for xenon for bombarding electrons in the energy range 0 to 50 eV and for photons of energy between 12 and 90 ...

Formations called dendrites grow in lithium-ion batteries and may continue to grow until causing an internal short circuit, which results in battery failure and possible fire. Researchers have now ...

We challenge a construction of scientific principle to develop the functional inorganic crystals with hierarchically controlled structures, ranging from 0.1 nm to 100 μm (crystal phase-interface), ...

Researchers enhanced lithium detection by adding graphene to solid-contact electrodes, creating more stable, precise sensors ...

As electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones increasingly demand rapid charging, concerns over shortened battery lifespan have ...

The ion channel PIEZO2 doesn't just convey touch stimuli. It also plays a key role in the development of coronary vessels, a team led by Annette Hammes from the Max Delbrück Center reports in "Nature ...
