Ionic Switching in Biology
Sodium is rapidly exchanged with potassium during signal propagation through the axon of a neuron, possibly resulting in ionic switching of molecular conformations.
If you are aware of another use for this element in nanotechnology, please post it in the Nanotechnology Forum so that we can discuss adding it here.
