Heavy-ion therapy, one of the most advanced radiotherapy techniques, has proven to be more effective than conventional X-rays ...

Today it seems self-evident that neurons make their electrical signals by opening gates of water-filled pores (ion channels) in the plasma membrane. But it was not always so. Remarkably ...

A new study conducted by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences  has uncovered a ...

Although several types of excitable cells exist — including neurons, muscle cells, and touch receptor cells — all of them use ion channel receptors to convert chemical or mechanical messages ...

Millikan has isolated an ion and measured its charge. enab1es one easily to compute the weight of the water condensed as fog. Furthermore, if the fog is left to itself, it slowly settles at a rate ...

Oxide-ion conductors enable oxide ions (O 2-) to ... a computational screening of 475 Rb-containing oxides using bond-valence-based energy calculations. They found that palmierite-type oxide ...
