Bromine was first identified as a chemical element in 1826 by French chemist Antoine Balard. He isolated it from chlorine and found that, in its elemental form, bromine is a highly volatile, ...

A new two-electron bromine chemistry sharply cuts corrosion while boosting performance, opening a clearer path for zinc–bromine flow batteries at grid scale.

A new advance in bromine-based flow batteries could remove one of the biggest obstacles to long-lasting, affordable energy ...

Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a simple molecular scavenger, they were able to remove a major barrier to the ...

Bromine looks sinister - like something you might find on Dr Frankenstein's workbench. But are people sometimes too hard on compounds made from element 35 of the periodic table? As you read this ...

Twenty-seven chemical elements are considered to be essential for human life. Now there is a 28th: bromine. In a new paper, researchers establish for the first time that bromine, among the 92 ...

Smelly element No. 35, bromine, is a fairly abundant element but has a rare property: it is the only nonmetal to exist in liquid form at room temperature, and one of only two elements (the other being ...

This article describes a process to establish the bromine index (BI) using coulometric titration. This bromine index is the fraction of reactive unsaturated compounds (mostly C=C double bonds) in ...

Chalk up another win for citizen activists. Coke and Pepsi announced this week that they will no longer use brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, in their soft drinks. BVO is an emulsifier; it helps to ...

Microsoft is readying the next version of Windows 11, and this time, it plans to release it earlier than usual. Windows 11 26H1 is built on a new platform release dubbed Bromine. It is being developed ...

Back in my high school days, I was in the school cadets. Every now and then we'd go to a real army base for advanced training. It was there that we heard from the regular army soldiers that 'someone' ...
