Potassium ion channels are essential elements in cellular electrical excitability and help maintain a resting potential in nonexcitable cells. Their universality is based on a unique combination of strong selectivity for K^{+} ions and near-diffusion-limited permeation efficiency. Understanding how the channel regulates the ion conduction would be instructive to the treatment of ion channelopathies.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study measures the energy spectrum of a 270 keV proton beam traveling through a hydrogen plasma, observing changes in energy based on plasma density and interaction effects.
  • * The results, supported by theoretical models and simulations, indicate that the energy changes are due to a two-stream instability and beam ion trapping, with consistent energy spectrum widths in both experimental and simulated data.
