Using Electrolysis For More Than Just Generating Hydrogen

When the topic of ‘electrolysis’ is mentioned, people typically think of just splitting plain old dihydrogen monoxide (hydric acid: H2O) into its constituent atoms, but this barely scra…

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell #technology to new applications like sustainable #energy and #water treatment. The researchers examined a type of #membrane called a #perfluorosulfonic acid polymer membrane, or PFSA polymer membrane. These membranes act as filters, allowing protons to move through, but blocking electrons and gases.

Differential stability and dynamics of DNA-based and RNA-based coacervates affect non-enzymatic RNA chemistry - Nature Communications

Mixtures of peptides and nucleic acids tend to demix and form coacervate droplets. Here, the authors show that even short peptides and oligonucleotides form droplets. DNA and RNA impart different properties to these protocells – stability, fluidity and the potential to host RNA chemistry.
