Ions in molten salts can 'break the flow'
In a brand-new write-up published in the scientific journal Communications Chemistry, a research group at Uppsala University program, utilizing computer system simulations, that ions do not constantly behave as anticipated. In their study on molten salts, they had the ability to see that, sometimes, the ions in the salt combination they were researching influence each other so much that they might even relocate the "incorrect" instructions-- that is, in the direction of an electrode with the exact same charge.

Just how to speed up solar fostering for the underserved
As roof solar rates have fallen, several households at all revenue levels can now save cash by going solar. However, low- and moderate-income homes continue to be much less likely to adopt solar than high-income homes. So, scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) set out to examine if specific policy and also service designs could improve adoption equity in terms of family revenue.
