One peek at the ion isn’t enough; scientists checked repeatedly if the calcium ion was bright or dark, proving that they had ...

Calcium is a very special nutrient. In the cells of most living beings calcium ions function as so-called second messengers to transmit important signals. The same applies equally to animal, plant and ...

Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to ...

Calcium ions are essential for cells, but can be toxic in higher concentrations. A team of researchers has now designed and prepared a combination drug that kills tumor cells by modulating the calcium ...

Concerns about the security and sustainability of battery materials being utilized are growing. The long-term use of lithium in energy storage devices is in danger due to looming worries about ...

Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are working on developing what they hope will be a greener, more efficient, and less expensive energy storage alternative to lithium batteries.

Quantum sensing has long promised exquisite sensitivity, but in the real world, environmental noise usually buries the very signals researchers want to see. A new experiment using just three trapped ...

Scientists in South Korea tested a new cathode material as part of a calcium-ion battery (CIB), achieving some impressive results. The material retained more than 90% of it initial capacity after 500 ...

Calcium signalling represents a fundamental process in cellular communication, orchestrating diverse physiological responses from muscle contraction to neurotransmission and gene regulation. At the ...

Ti-2 peptide adsorbed at the oxidized titanium interface in calcium chloride solution Titanium-based materials are widely employed in medical implants because they are biocompatible and have excellent ...
