A low anion gap results from an imbalance in the body’s pH levels. Healthcare professionals identify this “gap” by examining the results of a blood test that measures electrolyte levels. To maintain ...

Combining simulations and experimental data let University of Chicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) researchers build a picture of how negatively charged anions (yellow) and positively ...

The anion gap blood test measures the acid-base and electrolyte balance in the blood. Results can show whether there is an imbalance in a person’s pH levels, which may be making the blood too acidic ...

A team of researchers has achieved a breakthrough in the development of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). They designed a novel spiro-branched polymeric membrane that incorporates highly connected ...

Progress in fuel cell technology will help us greatly reduce our use of fossil fuels to generate electricity, leading to less air pollution Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

Selective extraction of specific, charge-dense anions from a solution is beneficial, but has been limited in practice by the inability of anion extraction to overcome the Hofmeister bias. In ...
