The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

April 14, 1932 was a day that transformed subatomic physics forever as a lithium atom was split using a proton beam. A.S.Ganesh tells you more about the first accelerator-based physics experiment ...

Atom Power (PRIVATE) Limited is poised to transform the energy storage landscape in Pakistan with the launch of the country’s first locally assembled lithium-ion batteries. The Karachi-based ...

It is still widely assumed that a fully charged battery's self-discharge results from lithium atom diffusion from the electrolyte to the battery's cathode, according to Artūras Vailionis, a visiting ...

Trump addresses the nation after US bombs nuclear sites in Iran US moves B-2 bombers to Guam among Middle East tensions, officials say B-2 bombers moving to Guam, US officials say ...

The lithium atoms are first cooled down to near absolute zero using lasers. They are trapped in an optical lattice but given enough time to turn into a localized wave packet.

When a balanced lithium atom gets an extra proton and turns into lithium-5, it’s half-life in total seconds equals 10 to the negative-20th power. That’s one one-hundred-quintillionth of a second.

Because the lithium-rich clays are just underneath the extinct crater’s surface, there isn’t much rock to rip up in order to access them, at least relative to other kinds of deposits.

And by the way, when a lithium atom loses that outer electron, it becomes a positively charged ion. That’s where the name "lithium-ion battery" comes from.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2023 / Investors in ESG-labeled bonds expect well-structured issues with strong green or social credentials to command higher prices than the same issuer's ...

In any battery, charged ions flow from one electrode to the other to give you an electric current. Some batteries can be recharged, and in that process, the flow of ions goes the other way. The first ...

If we're to transition to green energy, we need help from carbon. New research into carbon-based materials is improving lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen fuel cells and solar panels.
