Sentences with phrase «ion flow on»

Not exact matches

It worked like the nozzle on a garden hose, except his version was invisible, regulating the flow of ions with magnetic fields.

Almost immediately after publishing the earlier research on the flow battery, Chiang says, «We realized that a better way to make use of this flowable electrode technology was to reinvent the [lithium ion] manufacturing process.»

One of the challenges to scaling up the process, he notes, will be developing new materials for fuel cell membranes that won't quickly become clogged with the chemical byproducts of bacterial activity, which would cut down on the flow of ions that help maintain the voltage difference across the membranes.

Sound waves, amplified by the outer hair cells (shown above right), vibrate the inner hair cells, opening ion channels on their surface that let neurotransmitters flow in.

«The coated separator is quite flexible and porous, like a conventional polymer separator, so it has negligible effect on the flow of lithium ions between the cathode and the anode.

By shining pulses of light on the altered cells, scientists can switch them «on» or «off,» resulting in the same flow of ions that occurs when neurons fire naturally in the brain.

Professor Songtao Shi, principal investigator on the project, said the presence of hydrogen sulfide produced by the cells governs the flow of calcium ions.

Nerve cells rely on ion channels and pumps to orchestrate the continual ebb and flow of charged particles across the cell membrane, which enables the electrical signaling that nerves use to communicate.

When light is shone on the neuron, the channel opens up and allows electrical ions to flow into the cell; a bit like a battery being charged by a solar cell.

Most redox - flow batteries are based on metals, usually vanadium, in acidic media, and charge generation is based on ion - selective membranes separating the two electrolytes.

The following year, based on experiments in the giant squid axon, British biophysicists Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley described how ion flow across the cell membrane generates the electrical spikes — called action potentials — that constitute these signals.

SCX fractions of the IgY14 bound fraction samples were analyzed on an LTQ (ThermoFisher, San Jose, CA) linear ion trap, and SCX fractions of the IgY14 flow - through fraction samples were analyzed on an LTQ - Orbitrap Velos (ThermoFisher) instrument, operated in data - dependent mode with the same LC conditions as previously described [10].

We have advised on the development, financing, acquisition, and construction of numerous electric energy storage projects, including flow and lithium - ion batteries, pumped - hydro storage, behind - the - meter, and in - front - of - the - meter energy storage, as well as stand - alone energy storage and energy storage coupled with solar, wind, or gas - fired generation.
