As the number of particles in a physical system increases, its properties can change and different phase transitions (i.e., ...

Chronic hyponatremia—long viewed as symptomless—is now shown to disrupt brain chemistry and cause anxiety-like behaviors, ...

Hyponatremia, or low blood sodium concentration, is typically viewed as a symptomless condition—until recently. A research team has demonstrated that chronic hyponatremia (CHN) can directly cause ...

This story is from the next print edition of MIT Technology Review, which explores power—who has it, and who wants it. It’s ...

A research team has observed multibody interaction-induced EPs and hysteresis trajectories in cold Rydberg atomic gases. They ...

A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day help clean up sectors where it’s difficult to replace fossil fuels, like rail, regional aviation, and short-distance shipping.

Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the ...

SIBs often utilize cathode materials designed to accommodate the larger sodium-ions, such as Layered Oxides, Polyanionic compounds, or Prussian Blue analogues. Known for its high energy density ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first ...
