In this case, the new clock uses an ion of aluminum linked to an ion of magnesium, forming what is known as a quantum logic clock. In this, the aluminum ion has a high-frequency, stable "tick." ...

A team of researchers and industry collaborators, led by RMIT University in Melbourne, have developed recyclable “water batteries” to potentially mitigate safety concerns for large-scale grid energy.

A new cathode material leverages a rock-salt structure for enhanced magnesium diffusion at a lower temperature. The high-entropy strategy employed creates a crystal structure abundant in stable cation ...

Rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMBs) hold significant promise for next-generation energy storage, owing to their low cost, high volumetric capacity (3833 mA h cm⁻³), and dendrite-free formation.
