TL;DR: Carbon dioxide (CO2) movement across cellular membranes is passive and governed by Fick's law of diffusion as mentioned in this paper, until recently, we believed that gases cross biological membranes exclusively by dissolv...

Nuclear energy conversion with stacks of graphene nanocapacitors
TL;DR: It is shown that during the deceleration process more than 90% of kinetic energy of charged nuclear reaction products is converted to electric energy and stored as electric energy in a stack of charged capacitors with a gap size of 500 nm and graphene electrodes.

Generating Concentration Gradients across Membranes for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Periodic Systems
Eric Shinn,Emad Tajkhorshid +1 more
TL;DR: A novel non-equilibrium method for generating and maintaining steady-state concentration gradients in MD simulations of periodic systems is developed. The method utilizes the periodic boundary conditions to impose a directional bias on the motion of permeants, leading to accurate and precise permeability measurements.

Inducing concentration gradients across the membrane in molecular dynamics simulations to investigate membrane permeability.
Eric Shinn,Emad Tajkhorshid +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , a non-equilibrium technique for molecular dynamic simulations is proposed, which enables one to generate a sustained concentration gradient across the membrane and directly calculate permeability using the relation derived from Fick's first law, J=P(Δ;C).
