Sodium, Potassium and zinc have all been promising contenders for lithium's place in rechargeable batteries of the future, but researchers have added an unusual and more abundant competitor to the mix ...

Chloride and sulfate are highly corrosive ions when present in the water/steam cycle of a power plant. They can damage critical components such as turbines, boilers and steam generator tubes, which ...

In the cells of the Arabidopsis plant, exposure to sodium chloride (NaCl) induces the movement (translocation) of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged chloride channel, GFP-AtCLCf, from the ...

Researchers have discovered a salt adaptation mechanism in plants that facilitates chloride removal from the roots and enhancing salinity tolerance. A research team has uncovered a novel mechanism of ...
