Sodium-ion batteries may be the answer to the future of sustainable energy storage and could be used to make drinking water out of seawater. Scientists at the University of Surrey have discovered a ...

Scientists discovered that keeping water in sodium vanadate hydrate doubles a sodium battery’s charge capacity and stability. The same technology can also remove salt from seawater, creating potential ...

The takeaway: For decades, battery engineers have gone to great lengths to remove water from their materials. However, new research shows that keeping water inside a key cathode material can sharply ...

The lab-created compounds — never seen before — might exist naturally on icy moons in the outer solar system. By Kenneth Chang Scientists have discovered two new forms of salty ice that probably do ...
