(Nanowerk Spotlight) Modern liquid crystals devices – displays being the most well-known – utilize high resistivity liquid crystals characterized by negligibly small concentration of mobile ions.
The study of crystal growth and characterisation of fluorite-like compounds has garnered significant attention owing to their unique structural features and promising functional properties. These ...
Remember that the lattice arrangement is giant - for example, a single grain of salt may contain 1.2 × 10 18 (1,200,000,000,000,000,000) ions. The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions.
During winter months, frost can unleash icy havoc on cars, planes, heat pumps, and much more. But thermal defrosting with ...
The theory of the thermoelectric power of solid ionic conductors has been considered thermodynamically by Holtan, Mazur & de Groot (1953) and kinetically by Howard & Lidiard (1957a,b). In the ...
Ionic crystals generally possess isotropic and close-packed structures and are unsuitable for creating nano-spaces. In this work, “porous ionic crystals” will be constructed by the use of molecular ...
Antimatter lab: the slow positron beam apparatus used by the Tokyo researchers. (Courtesy: Yasuyuki Nagashima/Tokyo University of Science) Strong evidence that positrons can exist in short-lived bound ...
A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...
