Porous Silicon Joining Humans To Machines
Porous silicon was discovered as scientists attempted to electropolish silicon with an electrolyte containing hydrofluoric acid. The acid left a number of quantum dots in the silicon which trap electrons making it an efficient, luminescent semiconductor. The initial research findings from De... view more (1999-03-26)

A semiconductor membrane designed by researchers at the University of Illinois could offer more flexibility and better electrical performance than biological membranes.   view more (2007-07-13)

Researchers discover how stealthy HIV protein gets into cells
Scientists have known for more than a decade that a protein associated with the HIV virus is good at crossing cell membranes, but they didn't know how it worked.   view more (2008-03-18)

Plastic-Protein Hybrids
Functional membrane proteins in a block copolymer matrix Biological membranes form a fluid matrix, in which proteins "swim". Many of these membrane proteins are of interest for both pharmacological and biotechnological applications - for example, they are under consideration as biosensors... view more (2000-12-11)

One membrane, many frequencies
Modern hearing aids, though quite sophisticated, still do not faithfully reproduce sound as hearing people perceive it. New findings at the Weizmann Institute of Science shed light on a crucial mechanism for discerning different sound frequencies and thus may have implications for the design of... view more (2007-03-28)

Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level
Scientists at VTT and the University of Florida take immunotechnology to a new level Mimicking the cell walls transport system by biocoated nanotubes opens novel possibilities for numerous applications Living cells transport selectively molecules in and out through their cell walls. This process... view more (2002-07-04)

£11.5m for new structural proteomics research programmes
BBSRC has announced two new research programmes that together will receive £11.5m under the Structural Proteomics of Rational Targets Initiative (SPoRT). The Membrane Protein Structure Initiative (MPSI), a consortium of experienced membrane research groups at universities and institutes... view more (2004-06-17)

New magnets with 99% air content
Researchers from the Physics Department at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Institut de Cie'nca de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), and the Universidad de Zaragoza have created a new ultra-light transparent magnetic material. Thanks to its properties, the new material... view more (2003-11-25)

Crystal structure enables tailoring of pharmaceuticals against asthma
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have managed to elucidate the crystal structure of a human membrane protein - LTC4 synthase - which has a major influence on the development of asthma.   view more (2007-07-17)

Budding viral hijackers may co-opt cell machinery for the getaway
When retroviruses, like HIV, infect cells, they take over the cell's machinery to manufacture new copies of themselves. Research published this week in the top-tier open access journal, Journal of Biology, shows that to escape from cells, retroviruses may once again hijack cellular components, in... view more (2003-12-02)

Groundbreaking Discovery May Lead to Stronger Antibiotics
The last decade has seen a dramatic decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics, resulting in a mounting public health crisis across the world. A new breakthrough by University of Virginia researchers provides physicians and patients a potential new approach toward the creation of less resistant... view more (2008-10-02)

Membrane complexes take flight
Against currently held dogma, scientists at the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol have revealed that the interactions within membrane complexes can be maintained intact in the vacuum of a mass spectrometer. Their research is published in this week's edition of Science Express.   view more (2008-06-13)

ESRF lightsource helps tailoring new treatments against asthma
Researchers from Sweden and France have deciphered the crystal structure of a human membrane protein which has a major influence on the development of asthma.   view more (2007-08-03)

Metal Foam Has a Good Memory
In the world of commercial materials, lighter and cheaper is usually better, especially when those attributes are coupled with superior strength and special properties, such as a material's ability to remember its original shape after it's been deformed by a physical or magnetic force.   view more (2007-12-21)

Heart attack in a laboratory dish
NWO researchers at Utrecht University have given heart muscle cells a heart attack in the laboratory. This allowed them to observe clearly the change that takes place in the cell membrane during an attack and how the change sometimes leads to the death of the cell. In a healthy cell, one of the... view more (2001-05-08)
