Osmotic pressure is the force that pulls water across a membrane, driven by differences in solute concentration. The osmotic ...

NO problem is of greater importance in modern physical chemistry than the determination of the true nature of osmosis and of osmotic pressure. Although for some considerable period this problem has to ...

A persistent problem as science continues to grow is the difficulty with which knowledge can percolate from one field to another. This problem, which I discuss in my book The Half-Life of Facts, can ...

For this experiment, we're going to examine how this pressure affects the cherries - and the farmers that grow them! Osmosis is the diffusion of fluids through membranes. It is the way plants absorb ...

IN the issue of NATURE for May 3 (p. 19) appeared an abstract of a recent paper by Prof. Kahlenberg on “Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure.” In Prof. Kahlenberg's paper, and also in the abstract, it is ...
