Diffusiophoresis refers to the directed motion of colloidal particles driven by gradients in solute concentration, whereas electrokinetic phenomena encompass a broad range of transport processes ...

“Our lab uses different polymers to interact with the nervous system. We think there's a window after injury that seems to mirror development,” said Paul George, a physician scientist at Stanford ...

For the first time, an electrical device has been powered by the ear alone. The team behind the technology used a natural electrochemical gradient in cells within the inner ear of a guinea pig to ...

WATER can be transported in unfrozen soil under an electrical gradient. This process, which is called electro-osmosis, is due to an excess of positive ions over negative ions in the water near a solid ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...
