SSRL scientists have figured out how platinum electrodes dissolve, potentially paving the way for renewable energy ...

"So-called defects can be created in the carbon lattice of graphene ... Permeability to other substances, such as ions like fluoride, chloride or bromide, has not yet been observed.

It is not. A 3D construction model shows how the ions are arranged in a lattice structure. These models usually use coloured balls to represent the ions. Some use sticks to show the ionic bonds.

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

The researchers had previously found that protons easily permeate through graphene’s crystal lattice. However, it remained unknown whether other small ions could pierce the dense crystal lattice in ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

Nevertheless, rapid advances are being made, suggesting that optical lattice clocks will soon be challenging the performance of the best trapped-ion optical clocks. Which system is finally ...

For the necessary comparisons with other clock systems, two other optical clocks and one microwave clock from PTB were included: an ytterbium single ion clock, a strontium lattice clock and a cesium ...
