Molecular engineering of a zinc battery co-solvent improves plating stability, suppresses side reactions, and delivers near-perfect efficiency through a single functional group substitution. (Nanowerk ...

All living things, including people, need zinc in their diets. Getting too little of this essential metal can impair growth ...

(a) Schematic d-band model and (b) energy band diagrams. (c) HER volcano pot. (d) Schematic illustration of this work. In the global race for sustainable energy storage solutions, aqueous zinc-ion ...

Researchers tested a molecular energy harvesting device that captures the energy from the natural motion of molecules in a liquid. Their work showed molecular motion can be used to generate a stable ...

Zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates (ZDDPs) are very effective antiwear agents that are used as machine lubricants (e.g., greases, hydraulic oils, and motor oils), including applications in the automotive ...

New research could one day pave the way for the treatment of vaginal yeast infections, by shedding new light on how microbes in the body absorb zinc. Around three quarters of women develop vaginal ...

Industrial zinc pollution has reached even the most remote parts of the Pacific Ocean, altering the chemistry of seawater.
