Low doses in mice have can clear up proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease and restore memory. Human trials are the next step.

What do magnets, smartphones and medical imaging devices have in common? They all depend on rare earth elements called lanthanides, which are vital for modern technology. Yet, separating these ...

It’s the third generation 308. Peugeot has shifted over 1.3 million 308s in its 15 years on sale, meaning this latest one matters for the company’s bottom line. Fortunately, its design department has ...

Heavy metals get a bad rap. For the most part, it is deserved because they are usually toxic. Except when they aren't. You have probably consumed a whole lot of at least one or two of them, yet you ...

In the late 20th century, the Silicon Age transformed the world with the discovery and refinement of semiconductors that are the foundation of modern electronics. We are now in the era of advanced ...

Researchers from the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and CIBER-BBN, in collaboration with teams from the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Institute of Chemical Research—cicCartuja ...

Researchers now have a clearer picture of the chemical mechanisms underlying lithium-ion batteries—and it could lead to faster, more efficient batteries for electric vehicles, portable electronics, ...

This is an amazing discovery for the potential habitability of the moon’s ocean. The Cassini observations have shown that Enceladus has a deep ocean, it has hydrothermal activity, it has chemistry, ...

Scientists have built the first rechargeable hydride ion battery. Hydride ions (H⁻) have drawn interest as potential charge carriers for future electrochemical devices because of their extremely low ...

The MIT study has created a new model, called the Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer (CIET) model, to advance lithium-ion batteries. The new model redefines the fundamental chemical reaction known as ...

Gold, uranium, and other heavy elements on Earth did not form here. They were born in the violent deaths of massive stars and the collisions of neutron stars, traveling across the galaxy before ...

Backed by top investors, Periodic Labs aims to create an A.I. scientist by combining machine learning with real-world experiments in the physical sciences.
