Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still ...

A recent study outlines how lithium-sulfur batteries may finally overcome today's lithium-ion systems' charging speed and ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

The calcium surface abundance is predicted to influence the sulfur adsorption location, leading to a sulfur content enhancement in the vicinity of the −90°E longitude. Our results could be beneficial ...

Credit: Nature Nanotechnology (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41565-025-01934-z Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are materials consisting of individual metal atoms dispersed on a substrate (i.e., supporting ...

According to the research team, the approach is not limited to platinum and molybdenum disulfide but can also be applied to a wide range of 2D materials and dopant atom combinations. By gaining ...

Now, they have combined carbon nanobelts with thiophene (Fig. 1)—a ring-shaped compound made up of one sulfur atom and four carbon atoms. The motivation for combining thiophene and carbon nanobelts is ...

Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, molecule model and chemical structure. Synthetic industrial gas consisting of six fluorine atoms attached to a central sulfur atom. The most powerful greenhouse gas known.

Dr. Park Jun-woo stated, "Our technology has not only overcome the biggest challenge of the lithium–sulfur battery through the combination of SWCNT and oxygen functional groups, but also ...

But this week, researchers described a lithium-sulfur battery that still has over 80 percent of its original capacity after 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. All it took was a solid electrolyte that ...

In the backbone part, the sulfur atom on the molecule 58 forms a weak hydrogen bond with the surrounding amino acid residue Ile116, resulting in a subtle difference from the backbone part of molecule ...
