Niigata, Japan - Researchers from the Graduate School of Science and Technology at Niigata University, Japan along with their collaborators from Tokyo University of Science (Japan), Yamagata ...

Scientists studying genetic data from nearly 50,000 people have uncovered several DNA sequence variations associated with the electrical impulses that make the heart beat. The findings may pave the ...

New research explains how low levels of the electrolyte sodium in the blood can disrupt the timing of the heartbeat in patients taking widely used rhythm-control medications such as flecainide, which ...

The new material exhibits higher ionic conductivity than previously reported oxide solid electrolytes. The material is stable in air and has a wide operating temperature range of -10°C to 100°C. The ...

Stable and high oxide-ion conductors based on a new hexagonal perovskite-related oxide has been reported in a recent study. These high-performance oxide-ion conductors could pave the way for the ...

Apatite-type lanthanum silicates have emerged as a promising class of oxide ion conductors for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), offering a unique combination of high ionic conductivity and chemical ...

All-solid-state lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with solid electrolytes are non-flammable and have higher energy density and transference numbers than those with liquid electrolytes. These advancements ...
