Scientists have created time crystals out of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, a chemical commonly found in fertilizers and fire extinguishers. Time crystals are the silly-but-sensical name for a rather ...

In a new study, researchers have discovered that applying a small difference in temperature to a watered-down mixture of a compound called zirconium phosphate initiates its liquid crystallization. As ...

Phosphate, one of the most abundant anions in mammals, is crucial for bone mineralization and cellular activity. The kidney plays a central role in phosphate homeostasis. It adjusts urinary excretion ...

Lithium cobalt phosphate crystals viewed with an electron microscope. Image source: Katia Rodewald/TUM. It’s no secret that the limited storage capacity of rechargeable batteries is perhaps the single ...

Power on the go is in demand: The higher the battery capacity, the larger the range of electric cars and the longer the operating time of cell phones and laptops. Dr. Jennifer Ludwig of the Technical ...
