Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

Lipid bilayers in mammalian membranes can have a more asymmetric composition than previously thought, new research shows. This lipid abundance asymmetry is enabled by the unique properties of ...

Researchers from Wuhan University of Technology and Central South University, Changsha in China, have fabricated an ultra-thin organic solar cell with a bilayer hole transport layer (HTL) and a ...

Scientists at Xi’an Jiaotong University have fabricated an inverted perovskite solar cell that utilizes a self-assembled bilayer (SAB) as a hole-selective molecular contact. Inverted perovskite cells ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
