Plants worldwide are increasingly exposed to drought and salinity, two major drivers of osmotic stress that hinder crop ...

Continuous hyperosmotic pressure enhances specific cell productivity and reduces hypoxia in perfusion cultures.

On a humid morning in Fukuoka, a coastal city in southern Japan, a new kind of power came online. Japan has launched Asia’s ...

Reverse osmosis is a process familiar to most plant operators. Push makeup water through the right kind of membrane with sufficient pressure (osmotic pressure) and you generate a stream with few ...

Japan has brought its first osmotic power plant online in Fukuoka, marking the world’s second such facility and the first in Asia. The Fukuoka District Waterworks Agency said the plant began ...

Imagine generating power not from sunlight or wind, but from the simple mixing of fresh and salt water. This is the quiet promise of osmotic energy, a renewable energy source generated where river ...

An osmotic oral drug delivery system is one which depends on the mechanics of osmotic pressure variations to regulate the delivery of the drug or active agent. This is a step forward in ensuring ...

The principle of harnessing osmosis has the potential to produce enormous amounts of energy anywhere that salt water and fresh water meet. We looked at some of the approaches to turning this theory ...

Consider an ordered nanoscale assembly of solute-containing spheres that are trapped in a semi-impermeable matrix. The matrix prevents the diffusion of solute into a surrounding bath of solvent but ...

Few people think of osmosis as a way to help feed the world's hunger for energy. But an experiment under way on a coastal inlet in Norway may help draw attention to the power packed in the salty seas.
