Thanks to a few scientific principles, macerating fresh berries in sugar or a sugary liquid can create the sweetest, most ...

What Do Membranes Do? Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. They are semi-permeable, which means that some molecules can diffuse across the lipid bilayer but others cannot. Small ...

As per the study paper, this new JCM technology uses a pair of semipermeable membranes: one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic. The membranes are separated by a channel that can adjust in width from ...

In a recent paper published in the journal ACS Energy Letters, researchers from the Anhui Agricultural University and Guangxi University developed a semipermeable membrane that captures and ...

Osmotic pressure is the force water exerts on the semi-permeable membrane (plasma membrane) surrounding the cell. Water moves across the plasma membrane in response to an unequal distribution of ...

With so-called forever chemicals showing up in municipal water supplies across Clark County, many residents worried about the ...

Remaining contaminants and residual solids are then filtered out through a semi-permeable membrane. The main limiting factor in membrane bioreactors operation is the fouling factor, which is due to ...

This is accomplished by using feed water at a high enough pressure, typically 150 to 800 psi, to overcome the natural process of osmosis and force feedwater with high contaminant concentration through ...
