Revealing the mechanism of passive transport in lipid bilayers via phonon-mediated nanometre-scale density fluctuations

The passive transport of molecules through a cell membrane relies on thermal motions of the lipids. However, the nature of transmembrane transport and the precise mechanism remain elusive and call for a comprehensive study of phonon excitations. Here we report a high resolution inelastic X-ray scatt...
