Researchers have created a semipermeable membrane that generates electricity by absorbing osmotic energy from salt gradients.

Estuaries—where freshwater rivers meet the salty sea—are great locations for birdwatching and kayaking. In these areas, ...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is the opposite of the osmosis process, which involves pushing water through a semipermeable membrane that allows only specific molecules to pass through. This means reverse ...

Their proof-of-concept study focuses on using a hollow-fiber bioreactor—a type of high-density cell culture system that's bundled in a small cartridge containing thousands of semipermeable fibers.

National Park Medical Center will give the public the opportunity to meet its dialysis team and see the new Tablo Hemodialysis System during a meet-and-greet event Tuesday at the hospital. The drop-in ...

Its semipermeable and liquid nature provided the groundwork for understanding both its physical and biological properties. Edidin, M. Lipids on the frontier: a century of cell-membrane lipids ...

When either illness or injury lead to kidney failure, dialysis becomes necessary. This is a treatment that helps the kidneys with their job of filtration. The most common form is hemodialysis, the ...

In tropical South America, with its flat topography and low-altitude watersheds, many basins boundaries have been semipermeable over geological time scales (Lovejoy et al. 2010a). Semipermeable ...

As the name suggests, reverse osmosis is the opposite of the natural process of osmosis, which occurs when an imbalance exists between the concentration of two solutes across a semipermeable membrane.

As water freezes outside the cell, water from within the cell is drawn out through osmosis. Osmosis is a process in which water moves across a semipermeable membrane—in this case, the cell ...

Estuaries -- where freshwater rivers meet the salty sea -- are great locations for birdwatching and kayaking. In these areas, waters containing different salt concentrations mix and may be sources of ...
