When you drink a nice refreshing glass of water, do you ever think, "Gee, I'm glad that polymeric desalination membrane did its job!" Probably not, but maybe you should. Those thin polyamide, or ...

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team of scientists and engineers has developed a new method for making thin films of perovskite oxide semiconductors, a class of "smart" materials with unique ...

Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the National Graphene Institute (NGI) have made 'intelligent' membranes whose 'memory' can be used in areas like smart separation technology, wound management, drug ...

Instead of bioprocessing therapies the traditional way, Yuval Elani, PhD, UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders fellow and lecturer in chemical engineering at Imperial College London, and his ...

Membrane proteins are ubiquitous cellular components that are responsible for a wide array of cellular and molecular activities, including drug metabolism, lipid shuttling, and antibiotic resistance.

A team of international researchers has developed a new class of ultrathin polymer membranes that can rapidly and selectively ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. Therefore, substantial efforts are required in this field to develop membranes for desalination applications that are both robust ...

Membrane fluidity is a crucial parameter for cellular physiology. Recent evidence suggests that fluidity varies between cell types and states and in diseases. As membrane fluidity has gradually become ...

A team has developed a new method for making nano-membranes of 'smart' materials, which will allow scientists to harness their unique properties for use in devices such as sensors and flexible ...
