Scientists discovered that keeping water in sodium vanadate hydrate doubles a sodium battery’s charge capacity and stability. The same technology can also remove salt from seawater, creating potential ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

With the world’s reserves of light oil diminishing, oil companies are increasingly turning to heavier varieties – which make up 70% of global oil reserves – to meet rising energy demands. Existing ...

In the power plant, long-term efficient generation depends on minimizing corrosion and deposition within the steam/water cycle. Therefore, sodium in the power cycle must be maintained at deficient ...

A seed crystal can be dropped into a saturated solution of sodium acetate. The solution will suddenly crystallize and turn to solid. Alternately, the solution may be slowly poured out onto a seed ...

Every cell in the body needs water to survive, but it's possible to get too much or too little of the liquid, and that can cause some pretty serious problems. The body's fluid balance is not only ...
