One of these processes has to do with calcium ion channels, which have long been of interest to researchers at Linköping University (LiU). "I want to uncover the secret lives of these ion channel ...

Chinese scientists say they have developed a rechargeable calcium-based battery that could ... in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. Lithium-ion batteries are known for their high energy density ...

Using a technique called rapid ion exchange cooling, scientists at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) have shown that they could cool a calcium ion—which gains vibrational energy while ...

Researchers discovered that the calcium channel ORAI1 controls astrocyte-mediated brain inflammation, preventing tissue damage and behavioral depression in mice. This finding offers potential for ...

As a result, a collaborative project called "CaSino" began in September 2022 to explore the possibility of calcium-sulfur (Ca-S) batteries as a lithium-ion battery substitute. In many ways, lithium, ...

To verify that an influx of Ca 2+ into cells triggers the folding, the researchers treated leaves with a solution containing lanthanum ions, which block calcium channels, and saw that the plants ...

Koratkar says when they figure that out, calcium-based batteries that use abundant, safe materials will be both affordable and sustainable. "Because I think lithium ion technology is going to ...

Now, researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States have reported progress in addressing this issue and unlocking the potential of high-performing calcium-ion batteries.
