Polymer membranes that "simultaneously and surprisingly" improve permeability while favoring bigger molecules over smaller ones have been developed by a team of researchers that includes Dr. Richard J ...

A research group has developed an ion-selective smart porous membrane that can respond to outer stimuli, potentially paving the way for new applications in molecular separation and sensing ...

Polymeric membranes are widely used in separation technologies due to their low cost and easily scalable fabrication. However, unlike inorganic nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks ...

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology say they have developed a computational method based on large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to predict the cell-membrane permeability of cyclic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For decades, researchers have sought to develop membranes that can effectively filter water while minimizing energy consumption. Such membranes would enable energy-efficient ...
