Sodium is more abundant on Earth than lithium, and batteries that use the material could be cheaper in the future. Building a ...

Results from molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous hydroxide of varying concentrations have been compared with experimental structural data. First, the polarizable POL3 model was verified against ...

Despite touting ambitious goals of making America healthier, the Trump administration on Monday revealed in court documents ...

A new sodium-air fuel cell could be a more practical and sustainable power source (Joule 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2025.101962). The fuel cell has an energy density of over 1,000 W h/kg, roughly ...

Homeowners struggling with slow-draining sinks or outdoor drains clogged by grease and fat may find relief with a ...

A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day help clean up sectors where it’s difficult to replace fossil fuels, like rail, regional aviation, and short-distance shipping.

As oxygen flows in from ambient air, it reacts with the sodium across a ceramic electrolyte, producing electricity. By carefully managing humidity, the researchers were able to form a liquid byproduct ...

The sodium-air cell also produces sodium hydroxide as a chemical by-product, which could be used to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere or turned into sodium bicarbonate for ocean-based carbon removal.

Using sodium hydroxide to capture carbon dioxide has been proposed as a way of mitigating carbon emissions, but on its own, it's not an economic solution because the compound is too expensive. "But ...

Cremation is a popular alternative to burial that's becoming more common, but just how long does the whole process take from ...
