According to the researchers, this will be the first all-liquid-metal battery that can operate at room temperature, and it apparently outperforms lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are used to power an increasing number of devices, such as thermometers, remote car locks, MP3 players, calculators and battery backup systems in computers. The Lithium-ion batteries are also commonly used in electric vehicles because of their high energy density compared to their weight. “This battery can provide all the benefits of both solid- and liquid-state—including more energy, increased stability and flexibility—without the respective drawbacks, while also saving energy,” said Yu Ding, a postdoctoral researcher in associate professor Guihua Yu’s research group. <div type="image" title="texas battery 1" msid="76846357" hostid="261"></div> What's different? In liquid metal batteries, the electrodes are made of liquid metals, which makes it less susceptible to wearing out than solid batteries, since dendrites don’t form and damage the components. However, liquid-state batteries can deliver energy more efficiently, but they either fall short on high energy demands or require <a href="https://techxplore.com/news/2020-07-room-temperature-liquid-metal-battery-path-powering.html">significant resources to constantly heat the electrodes and keep them molten</a>. According to researchers, this battery includes the “best of both worlds” of liquid- and solid-state batteries. And, can be scaled up or down easily, depending on the power needed. The bigger the battery, the more power it can deliver. Stays liquefied at a room temperature Usually, the liquid-metal batteries must be kept at temperatures above 240 <keyword id="136546" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="degrees-Celsius">degrees Celsius</keyword> in order to keep the metals liquid. However, these metallic electrodes in the new battery can remain liquefied at a temperature of <a href="https://techxplore.com/news/2020-07-room-temperature-liquid-metal-battery-path-powering.html">20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit), the lowest operating temperature ever recorded</a> for a liquid-metal battery, according to the researchers. <div type="image" title="texas battery 2" msid="76846376" hostid="261"></div> The new battery includes a sodium-potassium alloy as the anode and a gallium-based alloy as the cathode. Anode and cathode are the parts of the battery through which the current enters and exits into an electrical device. The researchers also noted that it may be possible to create a battery with even lower melting points using different materials. Still at a nascent stage The researchers are still working to find <keyword id="8512007" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="alternative-materials">alternative materials</keyword> that can deliver the same performance while reducing the cost of production. As the gallium remains an expensive material which constitutes the backbone of this new battery. The researchers are also working to increase the power of the battery at the room-temperature battery as it “cannot compete with high-temperature, liquid-metal batteries at the current stage, better power capability is expected if advanced electrolytes are designed with high conductivity,” <a href="https://news.utexas.edu/2020/07/06/new-room-temperature-liquid-metal-battery-could-be-the-path-to-powering-the-future/">said Ding</a>.

This new room-temperature liquid-metal battery may last longer than lithium-ion batteries, says a new research

<a href="http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/outreach/ncw.html" target="_blank">National Chemistry Week</a> runs from Oct. 20-26. In honor of our most elemental (heh heh) <keyword id="41551" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="100" keywordseo="science">science</keyword>, how about some <keyword id="6371068" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="chemistry">chemistry</keyword> <keyword id="40638" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="jokes">jokes</keyword>?
These 15 chemistry jokes and <keyword id="1195522" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Puns">puns</keyword> are really cheesy and may only have the power to make a chemist laugh, but don't worry: we've included an explanation below each joke so at least you'll understand their cheesiness. And maybe even learn something along the way.
Two chemists go into a bar. The first one says "I think I'll have an H2O." The second one says "I think I'll have an H2O too" - and he died.
Explanation: H20 is the molecular formula for water. But H2O2 is the molecular formula for hydrogen peroxide, which will kill you if you drink it. <a href="http://www.inorganicventures.com/fun-chemists">Find the joke here.</a>
Q: Did you hear oxygen went on a date with potassium? A: It went OK.
Explanation: The atomic symbol for oxygen and potassium are "O" and "K," respectively. They get together they spell OK. <a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inorganicventures.com%2Ffun-chemists&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNGHa73Zm62c7RoHCmyD88SQwpVAuQ">Find the joke here</a>.
The optimist sees the glass half full. The pessimist sees the glass half empty. The chemist sees the glass completely full, half with liquid and half with air.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container full"><div class="image on-image">Flickr/Mr T in DC</div></div>Explanation: The glass is always completely full of something, be it a solid, liquid, or gas - unless the entire thing is in a vacuum and all the atoms are removed. <a href="http://www.inorganicventures.com/fun-chemists">Find the joke here.</a>
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
Explanation: This is a play on the phrase "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." But in chemistry a solution is a completely dissolved mixture of two or more compounds, and a precipitate is a a solid that forms from a chemical reaction in a liquid solution. The solid precipitate falls out of solution, and collects in the bottom of the vial. So a precipitate is definitely not part of the solution. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here.</a>
A photon checks into a hotel and is asked if he needs any help with his luggage. He says, "No, I'm traveling light."
<div class="KonaFilter image-container full"><div class="image on-image">Flickr/erix!</div></div>Explanation: OK, this is more of a physics joke. A photon is a packet of light and has zero mass. Not only is it literally traveling light (the illuminating kind), it's also traveling light (as in not heavy). <a href="http://prospect.rsc.org/blogs/cw/2011/07/15/chemistry-jokes/">Find the joke here</a>.
Organic chemistry is difficult. Those who study it have alkynes of trouble.
Explanation: An alkyne is a common type of carbon compound with one carbon-to-carbon triple bond. They are frequently used and studied in organic chemistry. It's pronounced like "al kine." So, alkynes of trouble sounds like all kinds of trouble. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here</a>.
Q: Did you hear about the man who got cooled to absolute zero? A: He's 0K now.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container full"><div class="image on-image">Flickr/functoruser</div></div>Explanation: "0K" here actually stands for zero Kelvin. Kelvin is a temperature scale in which zero is the coldest possible temperature, referred to as absolute zero, where molecules cease to move. A person wouldn't actually be OK if cooled to absolute zero. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here</a>.
Q: Why can you never trust atoms? A: They make up everything!
Explanation: Atoms are the smallest pieces of matter, they make up all of the elements and molecules and proteins and everything else on Earth. They literally make up everything we see, but in the joke they are suggesting that the atoms lie so don't trust them. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here</a>.
9. If the Silver Surfer and Iron Man team up, they'd be alloys.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image on-image">Flickr/marvelousRoland</div></div>
Explanation: In chemistry, an alloy is a mixture of metals. Silver and Iron are both metals, so if these guys teamed up they wouldn't just be allies, they would be alloys too. <a href="http://www.inorganicventures.com/fun-chemists">Find the joke here. </a>
Q: Anyone know any jokes about sodium? A: Na 
Explanation: The symbol for sodium on the periodic table is "Na," which when said as a word is pronounced like nah, another way to say no. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here</a>.
The name's Bond. Ionic Bond. Taken, not shared.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container full"><div class="image on-image">Francois Duhamel / Sony Pictures, Columbia</div></div>Explanation: We all know James Bond's famous drink order: Shaken, not stirred. But an ionic bond is formed between two atoms when electrons are taken from one atom by the other, unlike a covalent bond where the atoms share their electrons. And, taken rhymes with shaken. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here</a>.
I had to make these bad chemistry jokes because all the good ones Argon.
Explanation: Argon is an element on the periodic table. When you say it out loud it sounds like you are saying "are gone." <a href="http://prospect.rsc.org/blogs/cw/2011/07/15/chemistry-jokes/">Find the joke here</a>.
Q: What element is a girl's future best friend? A: Carbon.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container full"><div class="image on-image">Flickr/Jeffrey Beall</div></div>Explanation: "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" is a well-known saying. Diamonds are created from carbon under extreme pressurize and over time, so carbon will eventually become "a girl's best friend" - hence her "future best friend." <a href="http://www.inorganicventures.com/fun-chemists">Find the joke here</a>.
Q: Why are chemists great for solving problems? A: They have all the solutions.
Explanation: In chemistry a solution is the proper name for a mixture where one substance is completely dissolved in another - like sugar or salt in water. Solutions are also the answers to problems. <a href="http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/schooljokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here. </a>
Q: What do chemists call a benzene ring with iron atoms replacing the carbon atoms? A: A ferrous wheel.
<div class="KonaFilter image-container full"><div class="image">Wikipedia/Jynto</div></div>
Explanation: A benzene ring is a hexagon-shaped ring made out of hydrogen and carbon atoms - so it basically resembles a wheel. "Ferrous" is used an adjective to describe something with iron in it, so a wheel of iron is a Ferrous wheel, which sounds similar to Ferris wheel, the carnival ride. <a href="http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/jokes/chemistryjokes.html">Find the joke here</a>.
