The nutrient zinc can be both helpful and harmful when it comes to kidney stones, a new study finds. There have been two conflicting theories about the link between zinc and kidney stones. One ...

To NATURE of Jan. 12, 1929, p. 49, Paul A. Anderson communicated some measurements of his on the potentials of single crystals of zinc. The investigation of a possible change of the electrochemical ...

A recent study has measured the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of Zinc-Oxide (ZnO) crystals in both the light-emitting process and non-light-emitting process. A recent study has measured the ...

Researchers found that zinc sulfide crystals were brittle under normal lighting conditions at room temperature, but highly plastic when deformed in complete darkness. Deformation of zinc sulfide ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Zinc whiskers and platelets with their largest faces in the basal plane and thin enough (∼ 1/2 μ) to be transparent to 100 kV electrons were ...

The fusion of mid-infrared laser technologies with zinc selenide crystals has forged a promising frontier in photonics. Zinc selenide, renowned for its excellent optical clarity, thermal stability and ...

Insights into atomic-scale defects may enable next-generation thin-film transistors for smartphones, televisions, and flexible electronics. (Nanowerk News) Many displays found in smartphones and ...

A strand of what looks like twisted rope, colored with an ombre of watermelon pink to beetle-wing turquoise stretches across the opening shots of Emanuele Fornasier’s "Crystal Birth" video. As the ...

Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the most potent toxins known, disrupt neurotransmission through proteolysis of proteins involved in neuroexocytosis. The light chains of BoNTs are unique ...

Aqueous Zinc-based Batteries (AZBs) have emerged as promising candidates for grid-scale energy storage systems due to their inherent safety, environmental friendliness, low cost, and high energy ...
