IN a recent paper, 1 I have analysed the band spectrum of lithium hydride. The general features of the band spectrum were somewhat different from ordinary molecular spectra, and definite edges or ...

Professors Jianping Guo and Ping Chen of the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Professor An’an Wu of Xiamen University, led a team of ...

Under pressure: calculated structure of lithium magnesium hydride. Lithium atoms appear in green, magnesium in blue and hydrogen in red. (Courtesy: Ying Sun et al/Phys. Rev. Lett.) A material that ...

Research by Japanese scientists at Hiroshima University reveals a way to make ammonia from its constituent molecules of nitrogen and hydrogen at ambient pressure. In the new study, researchers ...

TOKYO — In a world where lithium ion power packs are the norm and buzz is building around solid-state batteries, old nickel-metal hydride batteries seem like yesterday's news. After all, Toyota has ...

Lithium metal batteries could double the amount of energy held by lithium-ion batteries, if only their anodes didn't break down into small pieces when they were used. Now, researchers led by Prof. CUI ...

Concerns over global warming and pollution have stimulated research in hydrogen and its potential uses as an energy carrier. Lithium aluminum hydride, a reducing agent commonly used in organic ...
