Researchers have developed a novel class of nanotube membranes that enable ultrafast ion transport. The findings open new ...
A new study published in Nanotechnology journal Nature Publishing Group’s Nature Nanotechnology has found ...
Protein molecules are found embedded in the two layers of phospholipids. Membrane proteins have a wide variety of functions. Some allow a cell to respond to specific chemical signals from other cells, ...
Some bacterial membrane transporters work almost like freight elevators to transport substances through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. The transporter itself spans the bacterial ...
Ion-transport membranes are vital components of clean-energy technologies, such as CO 2 electrolyzers, water electrolyzers, fuel cells, redox flow batteries and ion-capture electrodialysis. These ...
The plasma membrane is what isolates the cell’s interior from its surroundings. It is made up of a lipid bilayer and other macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins, ...
