Insights to GC ESL Structure
In this in-depth video, we dive into the complex world of self-assembly and its role in biology, with a focus on the glycocalyx, an essential structure for cellular communication and homeostasis. We explore how surfactants, bilayers, and polymers like Nafion form dynamic networks that shape life at the microscopic level. We also examine the impact […]
GC-ESL Structure and Function
In this video, we delve into the intricate world of nano bubbles and the glycocalyx, two critical elements in maintaining cellular health and preventing disease. We explore how nano bubbles interact with dissolved gases like carbon dioxide to inactivate viruses and how the glycocalyx, a dynamic self-assembled structure, serves as the first line of defence […]
Introduction to Nano Bubbles
Introduction to Nano Bubbles Dive deep into the fascinating world of nanobubbles and their critical role in biological processes. In this insightful conversation, we explore the evolution of scientific thought, from early research on molecular forces to groundbreaking work on the endothelial surface layer and glycocalyx. Learn how the often-overlooked dissolved gases are reshaping our […]

Carbon dioxide kills viruses, bacteria in water
The big advantage of the system, developed by scientists at University of NSW and ANU, is it does not require expensive membranes, high temperatures or pressures, making it low-cost.
Clean Drinking Water: Canberra scientists using hot bubbles to cheaply sterilise water
Clean drinking water is a basic need for human survival, yet millions of people around the world go without each day.
According to UNICEF, more than 660 million people use unsafe drinking water and more than 2.4 billion do not have access to sufficient sanitation.
New discovery in water sterilisation to benefit the world’s thirstiest regions
A team of Canberra scientists has discovered a new process for heating bubbles that can sterilise and desalinate water and remove arsenic and lead. The technology developed by retired professors Barry Ninham and Richard Pashley is being patented and could be used to provide clean drinking water to people in natural disasters and third world countries.
