Biofilms are conglomerates of bacteria and other organisms, which are feared in medicine as well as other areas because they ...

APOL1 contains an N-terminal ionic pore-forming domain contiguous to a membrane-addressing motif, together with a long amphipathic α-helix in the C-terminal region 1,3. This protein exhibits ...

The main building block of biological membranes is a flexible fluid bilayer of lipid molecules. In their model, the authors first define the coupling of the membrane with the two constituents of ...

Because flexural couplings accommodate misalignment in a bending mode, reaction is proportional to the flexing member thickness. In some types, such as the membrane and bellows couplings ...

"This sectional photocatalysis-membrane coupling system overcomesthe limitation of light inaccessibility in a conventional one-piece photocatalytic membrane system and reduces the transportation ...

HT nanoparticles contain abundant hydroxyls, which can react with siloxy of silane coupling agents, allowing for ant-biofouling grafting. Consequently, novel TFC RO membranes with high perm ...

Researchers have developed a 3D nanoprinted fiber-integrated hollow-core waveguide that improves nanoparticle tracking ...

They found that closely spaced pore arrays give a strong pore-pore coupling, resulting in a synergistic effect to increase the selectivity, while ensuring the ultrahigh ionic conductivity. The anion ...

The next step in the research is to get a more evenly distributed and stable anchoring over the membrane and to see how the polymer coupling behaves over time. Hanne Biesmans is a doctoral student at ...
