In every living cell, there are membranes, and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical ...

Scientists have developed a membrane that can be tuned to selectively enhance or suppress ion flow, mimicking how living ...

Researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Northwestern University have turned ...

Controlling ion transport for a blue energy future Date: June 3, 2024 Source: Osaka University Summary: Researchers probed the transit of cations across a nanopore membrane for the generation of ...

Researchers designed a graphene oxide-based membrane that can release silver ions slowly and precisely over time.

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute have developed a new type of antimicrobial coating that could improve hygiene ...

Our idea is simply, "Let's zap a brain cell at various voltages and freeze it in that dynamic state." Changes in the shape of a protein that regulates how ions move across the cell membrane can ...

In fact, all cells in the body act like a tiny battery, maintaining an ion-driven voltage difference across the cell membrane. However, the presence of this membrane potential is not the only ...
