Ionic Conductivity in Confinement — NSF Award to Northwestern University (IL, $300,000)
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This award supports research aimed at improving our understanding of ion transport in spatially-confined, electrically-charged environments. Living organisms employ ions to transmit sensory signals, store information in memory, and convert chemical energy into work. These functionalities often inv

| Abstract | NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This award supports research aimed at improving our understanding of ion transport in spatially-confined, electrically-charged environments. Living organisms employ ions to transmit sensory signals, store information in memory, and convert chemical energy into work. These functionalities often involve ions in confined aqueous environments. In biological systems, ion transport occurs through channels, proteins, and membranes, where the confined geometries enable enhanced res |
