Abstract: Abstract We investigate how the NaCl affects the dielectric constant of nanoconfined water in phospholipid multilamellar vesicles using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. An anomalous increase in the dielectric constant is observed near the physiological NaCl concentration… read more here.
