For starters, light can operate remotely. Instead of attaching electrical lines to the membrane, a lamp or a laser can be directed at the membrane from a distance. This could allow engineers to make much smaller, simpler setups.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is that the color of the light illuminating the membrane can be changed precisely and almost instantaneously. Other methods, like heating and cooling, take a relatively long time and repeated heating and cooling can damage the membrane.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Purple light means go, ultraviolet light means stop Controlling a membrane&#8217;s permeability using different colors of light.
