The solution undergoes further processing to stabilize the ions and to adjust the pH level.
The ions, having lost their stabilizing electron, go off looking for electrons to steal from other molecules.
Strip the electrons off a stream of xenon gas atoms so that they become charged (ions).
The ions pass through a charge-specific membrane and are adsorbed onto the surface of the electrode.

They were then dipped in an electrolyte - a fluid containing ions, electrically charged atoms.
The one- and two-euro coins release more irritating ions than a lump of pure nickel would.
This method works well, but it requires special accelerators to produce the oxygen ions.
To induce the mutations, Dr Abe bombarded germinating seeds with carbon ions for 30 seconds.
The ions can then be pulled out of the gas by a strong electric field.
This gene is the blueprint for an enzyme called urease, which converts urea into ammonium ions.
Tin is better than graphite but not as good as silicon at holding onto the lithium ions.

Depending on the configuration of the ions, the current between the electrodes will flow in different ways.
Its job is to regulate the passage of chloride ions (electrically charged chlorine atoms) across that membrane.
Aequorin proved useful, particularly as a tool for studying nerves, which use the calcium ions it reacts with.
To desalinate salt water, the technology passes it between two oppositely charged super capacitors, which attract charged ions.

These ions, like the hydrogen ions that are the heart of every acid, have a single positive charge.
Since the ions do not actually combine with the atoms of the electrodes, no chemical reaction is involved.
Over many months, they fired some 10 million, million, million (that is, 1019) such ions into the target.
Ions are accelerated across the junction between the two plasma layers, creating thrust.

Meanwhile, the hydrogen's stripped-off electrons race around the outside, trying to rejoin their ions, generating current in the process.
The process is repeated to build up alternating layers of positive and negative ions on top of each other.
The regulation of that flow of ions is key to the working brain.

As a result of these collisions, the atoms in the beams would lose electrons and become positively charged ions.
As cosmic rays batter their way through the atmosphere, they knock electrons off gas molecules, creating electrically charged ions.
Samsung makes a washing machine that injects silver ions into the final rinse.
The material also contains negatively charged ions, which can be moved with electric pulses to different parts of the surface.
One of these involves shooting oxygen ions (electrically charged atoms) into the silicon wafers from which chips are subsequently cut.
This channel is then unable to move around and line up with an inner channel, so it cannot transmit sodium ions.
