A team from USTC have developed a new oil collection apparatus based on a combination of HPS with pipes and a self-priming pump.
MD Simulations Uncover Mechanisms for Water Transport and Ion Selectivity through Nanopores
Scientists from Australia in Australian National University have examined recent progresses on the mechanisms of water and ion transport through nanoscale pores.
Molecule alignment affects solar cell performance
Researchers find that energy is transferred more efficiently inside of complex, 3D organic solar cells when the donor molecules align face-on.
Effect of Hydrogen and Electron Donors on the Microstructure of Polypropylene
The effect of hydrogen and/or external electron donors on the microstructure of polypropylene is investigated by several experimental techniques.
Why Can’t Ultralight Materials Fly?
Guest writer Hua-Jie Zhu of Hebei University discusses the role of density in the characterisation of ultralight materials.
Climate Conundrum
Sustainability – solar fuels from the sun, not fossil fuels from the earth.
Nanostructured surfaces with antibacterial properties

Blood Capillary Analogs for In Vitro Drug Testing
Blood capillary analogues have been developed in a biodegradable hydrogel as a promising platform for in vitro drug testing.
Barriers and Channels Formed by Tight Junction Proteins I
Tight junctions between epithelial and endothelial cells form selective barriers and paracellular channels and regulate paracellular transport of solutes, immune cells, and drugs. More specifically, tight junctions consist of proteins that laterally...
