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 study of peptide transport mechanisms and membrane proteins has gained considerable momentum as researchers unravel the molecular intricacies underlying nutrient uptake, intracellular signalling ...

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, ...

A research team led by Prof. WAN Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered a surprising new mechanism that fundamentally alters our ...

Imperial College London scientists have created a new type of membrane that could improve water purification and battery energy storage efforts. The new approach to ion exchange membrane design, which ...

Stockholm University and SciLifeLab researchers have uncovered how glucose transporters move nutrients into cells, bridging a ...

An international research team has investigated the transport mechanism of a bacterial membrane protein using an artificially produced antibody fragment. The transport proteins, called ABC exporters, ...

Microplastics are increasingly prevalent in coastal and aquatic environments, where their distribution and transport are shaped by sediment dynamics, ...
