A group of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology has discovered a completely new way of using lasers to accelerate ion beams. In time, the new technique could possibly give more people ...

A new tool developed by the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services is helping to identify when a fire is caused by a lithium-ion battery. The Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Investigative Checklist ...

Researchers have developed a method for identifying small molecules that bind metal ions. Metal ions are essential in biology. But identifying which molecules—and especially which small ...

Researchers have identified two ion channel switches that regulate the release of dopamine in the brain, a first step that might one day lead to therapeutics for a wide range of diseases and disorders ...

Scientists are creating new ways to learn more about the vast sea of unknown compounds. The universe is awash in billions of possible chemicals. But even with a bevy of high-tech instruments, ...

Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in proteomics. By ionizing peptides and then fragmenting those ions into smaller product ions, researchers can determine the biomolecules’ amino acid ...
