During your initial knee or hip replacement surgery, the prosthetic (artificial) components were either cemented (attached with bone cement) or hammered into the bone so they could eventually attach ...

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 epiretinal membrane (ERM) is an eye condition where a layer of cells forms on the inside of your retina. This layer of cells is called a membrane. Many people with this condition don’t know that ...

Researchers have implemented polyphenylene-based anion exchange membranes poised to make hydrogen production more efficient and durable. The robust hydrophobic design enables effective ion transport ...

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a semi-clear membrane that can form over your retina’s inner surface. It often causes minimal symptoms, but some people have vision loss or distorted vision. Your retina ...

The "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum said she was nervous about disclosing her surgeries "because there's such a stigma around getting any of your joints replaced" Cara Lynn Shultz is a writer-reporter at ...

The bottom of the ocean is cold, dark and under extreme pressure. It is not a place suited to the physiology of us surface dwellers: At the deepest point, the pressure of 36,200 feet of seawater is ...

Although the powertrains in hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) require less maintenance than internal combustion engines, the high-voltage batteries that power their electric motors can fail ...

Japan’s Toray Industries Inc has developed a highly durable reverse osmosis (RO) membrane that saves water, doubles chemical resistance, halves replacement frequencies and reduces CO2 emissions.

Rodney Coates does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...
