Confined fluids and electrolyte solutions in nanopores exhibit rich and surprising physics
and chemistry that impact the mass transport and energy efficiency in many important …

The inherent discontinuity and unique dimensional attributes of nanomaterial surfaces and
interfaces bestow them with various exceptional properties. These properties, however, also …

Nanotube porins form transmembrane nanomaterial-derived scaffolds that mimic the
geometry and functionality of biological membrane channels. We report synthesis, transport …

As the most important solvent, water has been at the center of interest since the advent of
computer simulations. While early molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations had to …

Due to its unique physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, such as a low specific
density, large specific surface area, excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, low …

It has long been known that the dielectric constant of confined water should be different from
that in bulk. Recent experiments have shown that it is vanishingly small, however the origin …

Low-dimensional water transport can be drastically enhanced under atomic-scale
confinement. However, its microscopic origin is still under debate. In this work, we directly …

Understanding the structure in the nanoscopic region of water that is in direct contact with
solid surfaces, so-called contact layer, is key to quantifying macroscopic properties that are …

Understanding the behavior of water contacting two-dimensional materials, such as
hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), is important in practical applications, including seawater …

An electronic current driven through a conductor can induce a current in another conductor
through the famous Coulomb drag effect. Similar phenomena have been reported at the …
