Liposomes are vesicles that contain aqueous solution surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer membrane. Liposomes are used to protect drugs or active substances taken orally from being destroyed by gastric juices. This way, drugs can reach the target cells.
Reverse osmosis is a technology commonly used to extract fresh water from seawater using the desalination process. In reverse osmosis equipment, pressure is applied to push the seawater through a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane allows water molecules to pass through it but not foreign particles, salt, and microorganisms. As a result, only pure fresh water is released.
