Enamel formation, or amelogenesis, is an intricate developmental process in which specialised epithelial cells known as ameloblasts secrete enamel matrix proteins and orchestrate the mineralisation of ...

Highly dilute metal ions can aggregate in a high-temperature ionic-liquid medium and form long-lived clusters. The unexpected finding, which is the result of a study that combines experiment and ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional ...

A member of an important class of ion channel proteins can transiently rearrange itself into a larger structure with dramatically altered properties, according to a new study. The discovery is a ...

A research team from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has developed a novel orbital modulation strategy to ...

Caught in a trap: the nanophotonic cavity used to create the ytterbium ion qubit. (Courtesy: Faraon lab/Caltech) Ions trapped nanoscale optical cavities could be used to distribute entangled quantum ...
