Breakthrough study in Nature Materials reveals DNA nanorafts reshape synthetic cells for controlled membrane dynamics and ...

One leading theory on the origins of life on Earth proposes that simple chemical molecules gradually became more complex, ultimately forming protocells—primitive, non-living structures that were ...

Figure 1: TEM images of porous and Pt pore-filled thin-film mesophases. Figure 2: X-ray scattering analyses and corresponding structure of the ordered, porous, silica thin-film mesophase membrane ...

How the Nanogate Works: A Tiny Pore with Big Potential The nanogate is a tiny pore embedded in a silicon nitride membrane. This membrane is housed in a flow cell on a chip, with solutions introduced ...

Given the similarity in gas transfer via membrane pores, we highlight the opportunity for cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer between fields as insights from one type of gas-transfer membrane ...
