Cavitation bubbles, extensively investigated in fluid mechanics, present enduring challenges in hydraulic machinery, while holding considerable potential for practical applications in biomedicine and sonochemistry. Despite more than a century of research, ...
The alkali halides are ionic compounds. Each alkali atom donates an electron to a halogen atom, leading to ions with full shells. The valence band is mainly located on halogen atoms, while, in a traditional picture, the conduction band is mainly located on ...
Designing solid electrolytes for all-solid-state-batteries that can withstand the extreme electrochemical conditions in contact with an alkali metal anode and a high-voltage cathode is challenging, especially when the battery is cycled beyond 4 V. Here we ...
Sodium-nickel-chloride batteries have a proven track record for backup power applications, but also show great potential for large-scale stationary electricity storage currently dominated by lithium-ion batteries. While lithium-ion cells rely on critical c ...
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) applications to drinking water are limited by the formation of chlorite (ClO2-) which is regulated in many countries. However, when ClO2 is used as a pre-oxidant, ClO2- can be oxidized by chlorine during subsequent disinfection. In ...

Solar technologies hold the potential to ultimately counteract the effects of climate change. Nevertheless, the intermittency of sunlight poses technical challenges regarding the storage of the surplus production and the supply of the deficit.
The generat ...

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is commonly used as an alternative disinfectant to chlorine in drinking water treatment because it produces limited concentrations of halogenated organic disinfection byproducts. During drinking water treatment, the primary ClO2 byp ...
The present invention concerns an electrolysis system for high temperature electrolysis including a plurality of flow-based electrolysis units configured to receive an electrolyte solution and to perform electrolysis to provide a first output gas and a sec ...
Assays focusing on emerging biological phenomena in an animal's life can be performed during embryogenesis. While the embryo of Caenorhabditis elegans has been extensively studied, its biomechanical properties are largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that ...
