For ion transport at nanoscale confinements, a cost of energy is discovered that originates from the rearrangement of the counter-ion shell, with the magnitude of which depending on the type of ...
The study, published in Materials Today, details how these membranes could significantly improve energy efficiency and operational stability. Precisely engineered in both pore size and surface ...
Ion channels are attractive drug targets due to their importance in health and disease, but finding ways to target a specific ion channel selectively is a major challenge. Now, researchers have ...
They are literally channels for communication: Pore-forming proteins in living cells, termed ion channels, are embedded in the outer membrane of almost all cell types and play a crucial role in the ...
