Biophysical mechanisms responsible for ultrasound neuromodulation in bilayer lipid membranes: Enabling the research that uncovers the mysterious interactions between ultrasound and neurons

Medical technology has seen great progress over the last centuries, developing increasingly more specialised therapy to benefit human health. The rise of the pharmaceutical industry and the research it drives are contributors to this success. However, in humanity's attempt to tackle more and more complex health issues, the conventional methods...

Fouling and chemical stability study on SiC-Al2O3 ultrafiltration membrane for sodium alginate filtration under constant flux crossflow mode

Trials of surface modifications using low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) has successfully decreased the high temperature needed for the fabrication of SiC membrane from 2000°C to below 900 °C. With this great success on the reduction of the energy con-sumption, however, further studies on the chemical stability and the fouling...
