Porous organic cages as synthetic water channels

Replicating the performance of protein water channels (aquaporins) in artificial one-dimensional channels are often synthetically challenging. Here, the authors show that porous organic cages allow water permeation on the same magnitude as that of aquaporins while effectively rejecting small ions.
