Silicon nitride (SiN) has been widely investigated as a promising integration platform for photonic applications. In this paper, we propose an optical power splitter based on SiN with high ...

Copper nitrite reductase contains a T1 and T2 Cu center and catalyzes the one electron reduction of nitrite to NO. This study determines that reaction of the reduced enzyme with excess NO generates ...

The enzyme catalase is well-known to catalyze the disintegration of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen; however, this study shows that its main function in bovine milk is oxidation of nitrite to ...

Traditional lithium-ion batteries rely on polymer separators for safety, which are designed to melt or shrink at around 160 °C to halt battery operation.

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 ...

Lithium-ion battery causes explosion inside Fond du Lac home, no one hurt The department also shared some 'key safety requirements' for lithium-ion batteries.

Ion channels articles from across Nature Portfolio Atom RSS Feed Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading ...

ION did not reveal the length or value of the contract, which extends the network's original deal reached in 2023. The existing three-year deal is worth $13 million per season.

Research at the Quantum Systems Accelerator has been steadily breaking new ground, quickening the pace toward flexible, stable quantum computers with capabilities well beyond those of today's ...

The Grand Rapids Fire Department is warning people to be wary of lithium-ion batteries after they were responsible for starting three fires in just the last month.

The FDA has approved Alcon’s acoltremon (Tryptyr) for signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. This is the first approval for an agonist of TRPM8, an ion channel that detects cold and menthol and ...

During recent protests in Los Angeles, fires triggered “thermal runaway” in several Waymo robotaxis’ lithium-ion battery packs. The phenomenon sent temperatures past 1,000 degrees Celsius ...
