Abstract
Biological membranes are less than 100 Å thick planar structures formed by self-assembly of lipids and proteins. They separate two electrolyte solutions and enable selective material and information transfer. Their features would be highly desirable in many technical systems, but are presently impossible to mimic due to a lack of understanding the complex biological system.
