The utilization of hydrogen produced through electrochemical water splitting is widely regarded as an optimal pathway towards achieving the imminent objective of carbon neutrality. Therefore, the ...

Most of the atomic clocks in the world — fewer than 500 in total — are housed at standards institutes and used to keep time for the planet. But the one inside UC Berkeley’s Kolkowitz Lab has a ...

image: The atomically dispersed Ru is achieved in the hexagonal crystal channels of vanadium-doped tungsten bronze support via the precise coordination with channel ammonia, which exhibited highly ...

The transport of ions to and from a cell is controlled by pore-forming proteins embedded in the cell membrane. In particular, voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) govern the transfer of sodium (Na +) ...

A 40-atom gold nanocluster breaks from gold's signature dense packing, forming square atomic planes with a central channel that accelerates electron relaxation about 80x. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Gold ...

Scientists at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle have determined the atomic architecture of a sodium channel. The achievement opens new possibilities for molecular medicine researchers ...

Atomic-level studies of the architecture of tiny sodium channel proteins, critical to generating electrical signals that start off each beat of the heart, are imparting striking details about their ...
