A new study sheds light on how hydrogen can be stored and released more effectively using magnesium hydride (MgH₂), offering ...

Superconductivity came with a lot of unfulfilled promises. Power without loss? Sign me up. Superconducting magnetic resonance imaging magnets? They’re, ahem, cool. And CERN couldn’t operate without ...

Researchers led by Genki Kobayashi at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan have discovered a way to max out the amount of hydrogen that can be stored in perovskite crystalline powder ...

A team of physicists has published peer-reviewed results documenting near-room-temperature superconductivity in the hydrogen-rich compound lanthanum hydride. Researchers around the world are racing to ...

Ionic transport has been studied extensively over the years for energy devices such as fuel cells and batteries using Li+, H+, Ag+, Cu+, F-, and O2-. Yet as Genki Kobayashi and Ryoji Kanno point out ...

Identifying hydrogen and hydride phases can be difficult using traditional microanalysis methods. Because of its atomic structure, hydrogen does not release distinctive X-rays when exposed to ...

A research team led by Prof. Ping Chen at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), reported in Nature on September 17 that they created a new core–shell ...

Scientists in China have developed a new kind of battery that could transform how we power everything from smartphones to electric cars. The breakthrough, made by a team from the Dalian Institute of ...

The division is pretty clear: nickel-metal-hydride batteries are for use only in hybrids--at least those from Toyota, which has used more of the batteries than any other maker by far. Lithium-ion ...
