Water is an integral part of our lives, and clean, clear water quality affects not only our health but also our daily experience. Today, as water pollution becomes increasingly serious, more and more ...

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 ...

ZOE identifies nine symptoms that could indicate increased intestinal permeability or a leaky gut. These are diarrhoea, increased gas, abdominal pain or discomfort, constipation, blood in your stool, ...

Mixtures of oil and water can be efficiently separated by pumping them into thin channels between semipermeable membranes, paving the way to cheaper and cleaner ways to deal with industrial waste.

The traditional film model for particle dissolution assumes that flux behavior depends primarily on particle size relative to ...

Much of this exploration is taking place at the surface of our cells—the protein-packed semi-permeable membranes that act as protectors and as signaling posts to other cells in the surrounding area.

This fascinating chemical reaction demonstrates acid-base interactions and shows how membranes can be semi-permeable, allowing water to pass through and causing the egg to change size. See this ...

Speaker one: Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, from a higher water concentration, to a lower water concentration. Speaker two: Water uptake in plants ...
