One of the earliest topics encountered by students of chemistry is atomic theory (the structure of the atom). The Building Atoms, Ions and Isotopes HD Lite app is a free app by Carolina Biological ...

Nuclear power could solve our energy problems but it has rather nasty by-products: radioactive waste. Not only the disposal of the old core rods but also reactor operation results in a large amount of ...

Zinc (Zn) isotope fractionation by the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (a Tasman Sea isolate) was investigated by culturing it across a range of free Zn2+ ion concentrations (1.2 pmol L−1 to 3.2 ...

Solid state batteries are still not very fast and powerful. One reason is that Lithium ions may find it difficult to cross the solid electrolyte separator. Now a study with neutrons shows for the ...

In a recent study, charged atoms, also known as ions, have been found to behave strangely during nuclear fusion reactions, in ways that scientists did not expect. According to a paper published on ...
