Biological membranes are critical living interfaces which not only compartmentalise cells but also provide specific surfaces upon which biochemical reactions take place. Their study is essential for our understanding of life and disease, and also for the development of new pharmaceuticals. Since they are dynamic structures reliant upon the surrounding aqueous phase for their activity, techniques which can probe them at a molecular scale under physiological conditions are crucial to understand their function. Here I describe some of the recent developments in neutron reflectivity (NR) in this research area and suggest where future developments in the technology might be usefully directed.
