A new thermodynamic design links ion movement and concentration to energy output, creating soft polymer films that generate ...

A groundbreaking discovery reveals that ice can generate electricity when bent, a phenomenon called flexoelectricity, which is significantly enhanced by salt, potentially leading to sustainable energy ...

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough salt, that electrical ...

In the quest to build smart skin that mimics the sensing capabilities of natural skin, ionic skins have shown significant advantages. They're made of flexible, biocompatible hydrogels that use ions to ...
