Boron cluster anions, such as the closo-dodecaborate ([B12H12]2–) and carba-closo-dodecaborate ([CB11H12]–) species, have emerged as crucial entities in modern inorganic and materials chemistry. Their ...

A team of scientists from the University of Manchester and Oxford have synthesized stable nitrogen chain radical anions under ambient conditions. These molecules, which are normally too reactive to ...

Metal-ion hybrid capacitors combine the properties of capacitors and batteries. One electrode uses the capacitive mechanism, the other the battery-type redox processes. Scientists have now scrutinized ...

Contemplating what other anions might be capable of displaying such behavior (using other atoms than hydrogen) the researchers argue that nitrate actually has a rather unique set of properties that ...

All chemists are familiar with the litmus test. Like other acid-base indicators, litmus changes color when the pH of a solution changes. The indicator is an example of a "naked-eye" colorimetric ion ...

Despite the introduction of new treatment modalities for gastrointestinal malignancies during the last decades surgery remains the principal therapy for most gastrointestinal malignancies, although ...

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

Scientists at UNSW Sydney, together with collaborators from Western Sydney University and The Netherlands, were surprised to find that dihydrogen phosphate anions - vital inorganic ions for cellular ...

The New Philadelphia Science Club is back with another science question in The Times-Reporter. Each week a new science-related question will be given, and everyone is invited to participate by either ...

The entry-level ion chromatograph, Eco IC, is designed for routine water analysis. Fully equipped with a conductivity detector, the instrument can be run either with or without chemical suppression.
