In this video I crush pure sodium metal in the hydraulic press. First I show how sodium reacts with water explosively. Then I ...

Sodium secondary batteries have a similar working principle to lithium secondary batteries but are low-cost and are expected to serve as a powerful supplement to lithium secondary batteries.

When melting sodium at high pressures, the material goes through a transition in which its electrical conductivity drops threefold. In a series of new calculations, Lawrence Livermore National ...

"SODIUM IS a small world," says Frédéric Chaminant, sales director of France's Métaux Spéciaux SA, the world's largest sodium metal producer. Global demand of 80,000 to 90,000 metric tons per year is ...

Scientists have developed a new sodium metal anode for rechargeable batteries that resists the formation of dendrites, a common problem with standard sodium metal anodes that can lead to shorting and ...

Sodium layered oxide-based cathodes of sodium-ion batteries commonly suffer from structural degradation. Here, authors propose entropy regulation with zero Li/Co usage to suppress lattice strain, ...

A high school friend once related the story about how his father, a chemist for an environmental waste concern, disposed of a problematic quantity of metallic sodium by dumping it into one of the more ...

Lithium-ion batteries are the standard power source for electronics. But lithium is neither cheap nor plentiful, making Li-ion batteries impractical for larger applications, such as storing wind and ...

Leave it up to the experts and a special standalone test toilet to find out what happens when you flush sodium down the loo. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist ...

Sodium metal is soft, white and highly reactive. It's number 11 on the atomic chart, in group one, meaning it has one electron in its outer shell and its super easy to detonate. That quality becomes ...

Oklo Inc. (NYSE: OKLO) (“Oklo”), an advanced nuclear technology company, today announced that it has acquired Creative Engineers, Inc. (“CEI”), an industry leader in chemical process engineering with ...
