One of the biggest obstacles on the road to a low-carbon energy future is caused by the rare-earth element lithium, a critical component for the batteries that can store the abundant and sustainable ...

At cold temperatures, water has two different liquid phases, which become one at the critical point. The discovery could help explain water’s quirks.

Using X-ray lasers, researchers at Stockholm University have been able to determine the existence of a critical point in supercooled water at around -63 °C and 1,000 atmospheres. Ordinary water at ...

Aqueous batteries are much safer than traditional Li-ion cells but generally have a lower energy density. However, a team of researchers in China invented a new water-based battery that is almost ...

To help explain water’s odd behavior, a team of researchers from Stockholm University used X-ray lasers to probe water when ...

Researchers at Stockholm University have captured the first direct experimental evidence of a long-sought second critical ...

The researchers used lasers to manipulate and measure water states. (POSTECH University, South Korea) As water gets colder, ...

“Corkran’s systematic evaluations revealed two new processes,” says Boutt, professor of Earth, geographic, and climate sciences at UMass Amherst and the paper’s senior author. AMHERST, Mass. — One of ...
