Ionic liquids are salts that are liquid at or near ambient temperature, composed entirely of organic or inorganic cations and anions. Their negligible vapour pressure, wide electrochemical windows and ...

An innovative design turns soft hydrogels into ionic conductors with diverse applications, from artificial muscles to transparent audio speakers. An innovative design turns soft hydrogels into ionic ...

Huddled beneath a protective biofilm, bacteria may unleash all manner of mischief. Even better—for the bacteria—their biofilms shelter beneath the outer layer of skin, the stratum corneum, which ...

Limits imposed by using corrosive electrolytes often result in severe restrictions to battery geometry and the need for special corrosive-resistant battery containers. The use of reactive ionic ...
