MIT's sodium-air fuel cells may power electric planes, offering triple the energy of lithium-ion batteries and reducing carbon emissions.

Metals can be used as fuels, just like oil, gas, or hydrogen, because they release energy through burning or electrochemical reactions. Light metals like ...

Liquid sodium metal fills the tube on one side, and air flows through the other, providing the oxygen for the electrochemical reaction at the center, which ends up gradually consuming the sodium fuel.

Scientists in Germany have analyzed the thermal runaway behavior of sodium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries inside a 10-L reaction vessel. They have thermally abused 30 samples, each under a ...

Researchers in South Korea have found that the contamination by small amounts of soldering flux residues during ...

High-entropy materials (HEMs) offer exceptional strength and stability, revolutionizing energy applications in batteries, ...

A new coating using NHC primer and UV-cured polymer protects iron from rust, cutting corrosion by 99.6% in saltwater tests.

Low blood sodium, or hyponatremia, occurs when water and sodium are out of balance in your body. It can cause weakness, headache, nausea, and muscle cramps.

What sun addicts didn’t know then was that we were setting our skin up for damage to its structural proteins and DNA. Hello, ...

However, this new sodium-oxygen fuel cell carries 3x the energy of a lithium-ion battery, potentially posing as a more efficient alternative for normal batteries.
