A new sodium-ion battery offers a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems, scientists say, paving the way for more sustainable EVs. When you purchase through links on our ...

High blood sugar levels can cause blood sodium levels to appear low. However, this is usually due to a dilutional effect. Doctors can use a sodium glucose correction formula to calculate accurate ...

Most Americans consume more than enough sodium — over 3,300 milligrams a day on average, even though federal dietary guidelines recommend less than 2,300 milligrams a day, the Centers for Disease ...

South Korea’s LG Chem Ltd. and China’s Sinopec Group are partnering to develop materials for sodium-ion batteries, which have been touted as one of the most promising next-generation technologies for ...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is one of those chemical innovations that has gone from wonder material to societal scourge. Better known by its brand name, Teflon, PTFE is remarkably unreactive and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Salt water with universal indicator turns red at the counter electrode, showing that the new electrode isn't evolving gas. Sodium-ion batteries may be the answer to the future of sustainable energy ...

Researchers discovered how to stabilize a high-performance sodium compound, giving sodium-based solid-state batteries the power and stability they’ve long lacked. The new material conducts ions far ...
