In addition, the considerable variation in the interface tension followed by a steep increase
in ion mobility also contribute to instability.

The TSA plans to continue using the portals already installed
in airports; right now, they are the best and most practical explosive - detection devices available, says Herbert Hill, a chemist at Washington State University and a pioneer
in the field of
ion -
mobility spectrometry.
Either the increased concentration of free calcium
ions or their increased
mobility (likely both, the researchers speculate) results
in a decrease
in the electrical resistance throughout the material, which can be detected with a multimeter connected to electrodes embedded
in the film.
Together with Persson, Berkeley Lab scientist Gerbrand Ceder, postdoctoral associate Miao Liu, and MIT graduate student Ziqin Rong, the Materials Project team investigated some of the more promising materials
in detail for high multivalent
ion mobility, which is the most difficult property to achieve
in these cathodes.
Necessary inputs include equilibrium potentials, exchange current densities and transfer coefficients for the various interfacial reactions; dielectric properties of electrolytes and electrodes;
mobilities of
ions and electrons / holes
in electrodes and electrolytes; and reaction rate constants of bulk processes (e.g., electron / hole recombination).
Hill has been an innovator
in the field of
ion mobility for nearly 40 years.
By combining
ion mobility rates with weight readings from a mass spectrometer, Hill can identify molecules
in a much more comprehensive way.
Thus, the future of urban
mobility is powered by a 288 - cell, 60 - kWh lithium -
ion battery pack developed
in partnership with LG Chem, feeding a single - motor electrical drive, rated at 200 hp and 266 lb - ft.
