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 ...

Global demand for lithium is climbing faster than new mines can open, raising fears that battery supply could bottleneck the clean‑energy transition. A new calcium‑ion battery reported in a ...

Even with regular brushing, teeth can become stained from genetic factors or consuming foods and drinks like tomatoes and coffee. Chemical whiteners can help, but they can also damage teeth in the ...

Renewable energy and electric cars are driving demand for batteries with denser energy storage than standard lithium-ion batteries. Ions that can carry more than one charge, such as calcium and ...

A new type of radiofrequency trap can capture particles with extremely different requirements and could theoretically hold both types of particles at the same time. Researchers in the group of ...

The first digital “quantum simulator” based on trapped ions has been built by physicists in Austria. The system, developed by Ben Lanyon and colleagues at the University of Innsbruck, comprises a ...

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 ...
