Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...

Water-containing layered materials have many potential applications, such as water purification and energy storage. However, the link between interlayer ion configuration and water architecture in ...

In the space between layers, any pores that are not filled with ions get filled with water molecules instead, helping to stabilize the layered structure. "Put another way, the water structures are ...

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

Synthetic anion binders could one day help treat the chronic lung disease. A University at Buffalo-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs ...

A new mass spectrometry technique captures molecules of lower abundance in a sample, providing a more comprehensive sample ...
