Membrane technologies contribute towards advances in tackling global environmental issues and improving people’s quality of life. Examples include water purification, desalination, industrial ...

A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Membrane contactors have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional carbon capture systems by marrying the high selectivity of liquid absorption with the compact modularity of membrane ...

Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

The reliable separation of some gases from others could be highly advantageous for a wide range of applications. For instance, it could help to produce hydrogen (H 2) for fuel cells and chemical ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Each cell contains well-defined compartments, each of which has a specific function. The nuclear envelope, for example, is a highly regulated membrane barrier that separates the nucleus from the ...
