Modifications to existing theories have enabled researchers to better understand and model the dynamics of systems which don't obey conventional laws of diffusion. In normal circumstances, particles ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanofluidic channels feature a unique unipolar ionic transport when properly designed and constructed. Recent research in nanofluidics has adopted reconstructed layered ...

Animals, including humans, need to absorb all glucose molecules from their food. This is taken from the gut wall, inside the small intestine, into the blood. There is more glucose (a higher ...

For an organism to function, substances must move into and out of cells. Three processes contribute to this movement – diffusion, osmosis and active transport. Cellular respiration and transport - ...

Transport proteins are proteins that help in transporting of substances across biological membranes. Ions such as sodium and potassium ae the substances transported by transport proteins .They ...
