Sodium batteries could one day bring the heat and the light.
What do you do when a major winter storm or a bolt of lightning has left you without power and the temperature in your home begins to plummet? Even if your back-up generator kicks in, you worry about the potential for fire and toxic fumes. Researchers are developing a sodium-based battery as an ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

A new refrigerator for molecules
Sodium atoms (yellow spheres) collide with sodium-lithium molecules (combined-yellow-red-spheres). The atom-molecule mixture is trapped in an optical trap whose effective edge is shown as a white rim. As the trap is loosened (depicted as a dimmer rim), the most energetic sodium atoms leave the ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Preparing nanomaterial dispersion in sodium L-ascorbate solution
Xiaofei Zhao prepares a Ti3C2 MXene (pronounced "Maxine") dispersion in sodium L-ascorbate solution at Texas A&M University. Zhao is part of a team of researchers who discovered a simple, inexpensive way to prevent the rapid degradation of a new class of nanomaterials.
