New research shows that cell size and membranes may play a key role in regulating the distribution of molecules inside cells. This discovery offers a new unconventional method for manipulating ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed ...

Ultrafiltration membranes used in pharmaceutical manufacturing and other industrial processes have long relied on separating ...

The force is called "entropic" because the molecule moves out of the restricted space of the sieve into an open area where it can be more disordered. In the latest experiment, the researchers used the ...

What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is a type of molecular sieving chromatography, where a sample is separated into its constituent parts based on their molecular sizes. This is accomplished by ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Industry has long relied upon energy-intensive processes, such as distillation and crystallization, to separate molecules that ultimately serve as ingredients in medicine, chemicals ...

Imagine a plastic bag that can carry home your groceries, then quickly degrade without harming the environment. Or a super-strong, lightweight plastic for airplanes, rockets, and satellites that can ...

New research shows greater separation of molecules in smaller-sized artificial cells. New research shows that cell size and membranes may play a key role in regulating the distribution of molecules ...
