This salty solution could be a game-changer in expanding our clean energy mix. By tapping into osmotic power, we can generate more carbon-free electricity to run our homes and cities. That means ...

A team of Chinese researchers has developed a new interfacial synthesis strategy to fabricate high-performance crystalline ...

Researchers in ACS Energy Letters report creating a semipermeable membrane that harvests osmotic energy from salt gradients and converts it to electricity. The new design had an output power ...

Osmotic pressure is the force water exerts on the semi-permeable membrane (plasma membrane) surrounding the cell. Water moves across the plasma membrane in response to an unequal distribution of ...

LORD KELVIN'S very interesting problem concerning molecules which differ only in their power of passing a diaphragm (see NATURE for January 21, p. 272), seems only to require for its solution the ...
