Revealing the mechanism of passive transport in lipid bilayers via phonon-mediated nanometre-scale density fluctuations
The molecular transport through bio-membranes of cells heavily relies on the dynamics of lipids, but the related mechanism remains unknown. Here, Zhernenkov et al. observe the propagating transverse phonon mode with a finite band gap and suggest its connection to short-lived local lipid clustering.
