MIT's Techology Review writes on the Nature publication and the pnc-Si membrane. "A 15-nanometer-thick
porous silicon membrane could lead to microfluidics filters and make protein purification and blood
dialysis more efficient."

The Royal Society of Chemistry's Chemistry World writes about the membrane technology.
"Tough, ultra-slim silicon membranes could drastically improve the performance of lab-on-a-chip
micro-analytical systems, kidney dialysis machines and, in the future, even produce an artificial
kidney, claim researchers."
