Charged particles in aqueous solutions are always surrounded by a shell of water molecules. However, much is still unknown about the nature of this so-called hydration shell. Using terahertz ...

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

Chemists have coaxed vinyl cations to insert into C–H bonds of alkanes and arenes. In doing so, they’ve shown that this classic carbocation is capable of much more than previously thought. Although ...

Huang Feihe at Zhejiang University, Jonathan Sessler of the University of Texas at Austin, and colleagues reported a novel cation recognition mode which mimics the biological allosteric effect and ...

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 ...

IONIC LIQUIDS have been one of the more visible classes of chemicals during the past decade, and for good reason. The more chemists have explored the range of properties possible by mixing and ...

Ion exchange separates components in a sample depending on their relative ionic strengths and interaction with the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a charged substance that selectively ...

Ions play a vital role in regulating the antitumoral functions of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Protons, derived from endogenous ...

Resodec, § the exchange resin used in the patients described in this report, is an acrylic polymer of heavy molecular weight, whose carboxylic radicals can readily adsorb and release cations to which ...
