Discovery of New Membrane Behavior Could Lead to Unprecedented Separations

Scientists have developed a new technique to overcome the perceived limitations of membranes with uniformly sized pores
Recent research on isoporous membranes, which feature uniformly sized pores, show potential for improving the precision and efficiency of industrial separation processes by allowing solutes multiple attempts to pass through the pores.

Imagine a close basketball game that comes down to the final shot. The probability of the ball going through the hoop might be fairly low, but it would dramatically increase if the player were afforded the opportunity to shoot it over and over.
