This Review explores the dynamic behavior of water within nanopores and biological
channels in lipid bilayer membranes. We focus on molecular simulation studies, alongside …

Wettability in nanochannels is of great importance for understanding many challenging
problems in interface chemistry and fluid mechanics, and presents versatile applications …

Living organisms use ions and small molecules as information carriers to communicate with
the external environment at ultralow power consumption. Inspired by biological systems …

A switchable material with a smart antimicrobial dual‐action functionality, which is based on
a highly stretchable silicon polymer gradiently doped with polyyrrole, is proposed. The …

The advent of single-molecule probing techniques has revolutionized the biomedical and
life science fields and has spurred the development of a new class of labs-on-chip based on …

Gas hydrates (clathrate hydrates, clathrates, or hydrates) are crystalline inclusion
compounds composed of water and gas molecules. Methane hydrates, the most well-known …

Ion channel proteins control ionic flux across biological membranes through conformational
changes in their transmembrane pores. An exponentially increasing number of channel …

The liquid-to-vapor transition can occur under unexpected conditions in nanopores, opening
the door to fundamental questions and new technologies. The physics of boiling in …

Water molecules within biological ion channels are in a nanoconfined environment and
therefore exhibit behaviors which differ from that of bulk water. Here, we investigate the …

The nanofluidic ionic signal is governed by the interactions between ion species and the
surface charge, surface wettability, and pore diameter of nanofluidic membranes. However …
