Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers have ...

Ion-transport membranes are vital components of clean-energy technologies, such as CO 2 electrolyzers, water electrolyzers, fuel cells, redox flow batteries and ion-capture electrodialysis. These ...

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...

As part of the goal of tackling climate change, more and more people are using electric vehicles, which produce just a fraction of the carbon dioxide emissions as their gasoline-powered counterparts.

In the race to develop safer, faster-charging solid-state batteries and more efficient thermoelectric conversion technologies ...
