The book “Applications of Ionic Liquids in the Oil Industry: Towards A Sustainable Industry” includes ten chapters in which some of the most important applications of the use of ionic liquids in the ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are typically organic liquid salts. They are considered an evolved alternative to high melting point fused salts 1. The advantages associated with ILs are their tuneable properties ...

Canadian lithium developer Lithium Ionic Corporation says it has become aware of a group claiming to be "significant ...

An innovative design turns soft hydrogels into ionic conductors with diverse applications, from artificial muscles to transparent audio speakers. An innovative design turns soft hydrogels into ionic ...

(Phys.org) —Wouldn't it be nice to use solar- or wind-generated electricity to turn excess carbon dioxide—one of the gases trapping heat in Earth's atmosphere—into fuels and other useful chemicals?

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors are promising materials for next generation bioelectronic devices. While they readily interface with biological systems, the volumetric doping mechanism ...

In a materials science laboratory at Harvard University, a transparent disk connected to a laptop fills the room with music—it's the "Morning" prelude from Peer Gynt, played on an ionic speaker. No ...

Huddled beneath a protective biofilm, bacteria may unleash all manner of mischief. Even better—for the bacteria—their biofilms shelter beneath the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, which ...
