Researchers discovered a new ion transport mechanism in nanofiltration membranes, offering key insights for improving lithium ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Thin-film polymer membranes have been very effective for industrial-scale desalination of seawater, but have not been used ...

Guest molecules slice through droplets of DNA polymers in a frontal wave, providing a foundation for better understanding ...

As time goes by, our bodies change, you know, even the brain. A major change is how brain structure seems to shrink with age. Studies show that this happens at both large and small levels inside. You ...

Inside your body, countless processes are happening every second to keep you alive. Among them is a little-known but powerful protein called CD36.

There are huge gaps in what we know about sperm, from how they navigate to why sperm counts are tumbling. The BBC unravels ...

Researchers have identified a form of molecular motion that has not previously been observed. When what are known as "guest molecules"—molecules that are accommodated within a host molecule ...

Abstract: The lateral diffusion coefficients of the lipid cell membrane molecules of HeLa cells were measured by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) with the irradiation of 0.10 and 0.29 ...

The new membrane can withstand temperatures up to 284 F (140 C) and pressures up to 30 atmospheres when exposed to organic solvents. These attributes are key because they allow the membrane to ...
