The synthesis method is based on a liquid - free process that allows for intercalation — insertion of guest
ions into a host material — and ion substitution with those in the host material by driving ions with protons.
Silver or copper colloids which gradually release germicidal metal
ions into the environment are incorporated in the coating.
It is also difficult to homogeneously introduce
ions into host materials, and some host materials are not suitable when used with liquids.

ions into neurons.

ions into the podocyte, eventually destroying it.

ions into or out of cells changes the voltage inside.
Using near - infrared light, researchers have shown they can selectively activate an immune response by controlling the flow of calcium
ions into the cell.
This enabled them to «smuggle» calcium
ions into cells and see what happened to sodium channels when the calcium concentration changed abruptly.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have spotted a strong family trait in two distant relatives: The channels that permit entry of sodium and calcium
ions into cells turn out to share similar means for regulating ion intake, they say.
Teams around the world are searching for suitable cathode materials which can efficiently turn
those ions into hydrogen gas, says Gamelin.
The listing for cobalt includes different types of cobalt compounds that release
ions into the body.
Unlike the electrodes used in lithium - ion batteries, these organic compounds don't rely on intercalation — the process of continuously integrating
ions into their molecular matrix, which slows down as the temperature drops.
In one recent study, they obtained good results by incorporating ruthenium
ions into a sheet - like nanostructure composed of carbon nitride.
It is controlled, in part, by a series of channels on the surface of heart cells that regulate the movement of different
ions into and out of the cells.

ions into the cell that can inhibit communication between the cells.
Cosmic rays from outside the solar system can also inject
ions into lunar rocks, causing chemical changes that create water.
To transmit electrical signals along a neuron, a strong difference in charge between the interior and exterior of the cell is needed, which is created by pumping positive
ions into the cell.
This is because rat neurons are much more efficient at pumping
ions into the cell than squid neurons, say the team, resulting in squid using up more energy to generate a charge and transmit the signal.
