Ultrafast water permeation through nanochannels with a densely fluorous interior surface
Science, 2022 Ultrafast water permeation in aquaporins is promoted by their hydrophobic interior surface. Polytetrafluoroethylene has a dense fluorine surface, leading to its strong water repellence.

Unimpeded Permeation of Water Through Helium-Leak–Tight Graphene-Based Membranes [PDF]
Science, 2011 Porous Membranes Thin semi-permeable membranes are commonly used as chemical barriers or for filtration purposes. While the size of the pores will influence which molecules are able to pass, other factors—including the surface chemistry of the pore walls,

Matrix mechanics and water permeation regulate extracellular vesicle transport
Nature Nanotechnology, 2020 Cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs) to communicate over long distances, which requires EVs to traverse the extracellular matrix (ECM). However, given that the size of EVs is usually larger than the mesh size of the ECM, it is not clear how they ...
