Instead of bioprocessing therapies the traditional way, Yuval Elani, PhD, UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders fellow and lecturer in chemical engineering at Imperial College London, and his ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from the National Graphene Institute (NGI) have made 'intelligent' membranes whose 'memory' can be used in areas like smart separation technology, wound management, drug ...

A team has developed a new method for making nano-membranes of 'smart' materials, which will allow scientists to harness their unique properties for use in devices such as sensors and flexible ...

Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.
