Small molecules and ions pass through molecular separation membranes with channels at
the nanometer scale. These nanochannel membranes are playing an increasingly important …

The emergence of biomimetic materials developed using nature's inspiration and biological
domains can drive a paradigm shift in the design and operation of future‐generation …

Organic solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and dimethylacetamide (DMAc),
have been traditionally used to fabricate polymeric membranes. These solvents may have a …

Natural Aquaporin (AQP) channels are efficient water translocating proteins, rejecting ions.
Inspired by this masterpiece of nature, Artificial Water Channels (AWCs) with controlled …

Nanostructured polymers synthesized by lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) templates with normal
hexagonal (H 1) structure exhibit a 3D-continuous transport path, which makes them ideal …

Efforts toward developing membranes for aqueous separations beyond desalination have
intensified, in attempts to achieve zero liquid discharge and a circular economy. Treatment …

Various types of channel proteins, broadly named porins, present in the cell membrane of
gram‐negative bacteria have specific functionalities depending on their selectivity toward …

Blue-light-induced RAFT polymerization was utilized to synthesize poly (N, N-
dimethylacrylamide)–block–polystyrene (PDMA–b–PS) diblock copolymers to obtain 40 g …

Stem cell spheroids (SCSs) are a valuable tool in stem cell research and regenerative
medicine. SCSs provide a platform for stem cell behavior in a more biologically relevant …

Nature has ingeniously developed specialized water transporters that effectively reject ions,
including protons, while transporting water across membranes. These natural water …
