His lab’s working prototype of a hydrogen fuel cell, based on the finely patterned water-conducting scales of desert lizards ...

Thus, the hydrophilic heads of the glycerophospholipids in a cell's plasma membrane face both the water-based cytoplasm and the exterior of the cell. Altogether, lipids account for about half the ...

New 3D maps of water distribution during cellular membrane fusion are accelerating scientific understanding of cell development, which could lead to new treatments for diseases associated with ...

The cell model of ion-exchange membranes reveals violations of the Onsager reciprocity principle, particularly at high ...

Left: a home-made experimental cell with a water feed pump. Right: side view of the cell, showing the sandwiched membrane in the middle The membrane is a two-layer sandwich, the top layer being a ...

Somehow, even though water molecules are much smaller, they cannot enter. The new study reveals why. In order for glycerol to clear the four-channel configuration in the cell membrane, it must ...

This is mainly water. Cell membrane - a flexible outer layer that surrounds the cell and controls which substances can pass into and out from it. Tilly: My name's Tilly, I'm a butcher. I cut and ...

Fuel cells that run on hydrogen are efficient and emit water vapor instead of exhaust. But so far, the technology is still ...

Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...
