IN a recent paper, 1 I have analysed the band spectrum of lithium hydride. The general features of the band spectrum were somewhat different from ordinary molecular spectra, and definite edges or ...

Professors Jianping Guo and Ping Chen of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Professor An’an Wu of Xiamen University, led a team of ...

TOKYO — In a world where lithium ion power packs are the norm and buzz is building around solid-state batteries, old nickel-metal hydride batteries seem like yesterday's news. After all, Toyota has ...

Under pressure: calculated structure of lithium magnesium hydride. Lithium atoms appear in green, magnesium in blue and hydrogen in red. (Courtesy: Ying Sun et al/Phys. Rev. Lett.) A material that ...

Here’s all you need to know about the magic that happens inside your EV battery and how it impacts range, charging and ...

Research by Japanese scientists at Hiroshima University reveals a way to make ammonia from its constituent molecules of nitrogen and hydrogen at ambient pressure. In the new study, researchers ...

Concerns over global warming and pollution have stimulated research in hydrogen and its potential uses as an energy carrier. Lithium aluminum hydride, a reducing agent commonly used in organic ...

On the top, three different methods tried to synthesize dilithium hydroquinone and the corresponding characteristics are shown. On the bottom is the synthesis mechanism of obtaining pure dilithium ...

Quantum computers could be the future of computational chemistry if they can calculate properties of molecules that conventional digital computers can’t handle. Today’s quantum systems are a long way ...

Every time we discuss quantum computers, the headline tends to be that someone, somewhere is going to use the quantum to break your encryption and steal your student loan. If only that were true. But ...
