But a team of Chinese researchers has managed to turn sulfur’s complex chemistry into a strength, making it the primary ...

Metal valence state was identified as a key factor steering the anion reactivity and thus “indirectly” affecting the Li-bond strength, which further determined the conversion kinetics of lithium (poly ...

Lithium may be the key component in most modern batteries, but it doesn’t make up the bulk of the material used in them. Instead, much of the material is in the electrodes, where the lithium gets ...

Cytosolic and nuclear iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins play key roles in processes such as ribosome maturation, transcription and DNA repair-replication. For biosynthesis of their Fe-S clusters, a ...

Batteries. We buy them at the store, use them up, and throw them away without much thought. In reality, however, batteries are remarkably complex electrochemical devices that are continually evolving.

One of the chief chemical characteristics of sulfur is its ability to form bonds to other sulfur atoms. These bonds and their chemistry are found in many proteins, as well as synthetic compounds. In ...
