Electroosmosis is a fascinating effect where liquid motion is induced by an applied electric
field. Counter ions accumulate in the vicinity of charged surfaces, triggering a coupling …

Wetting and drying of pores or cavities, made by walls that attract or repel the liquid, is a
ubiquitous process in nature and has many technological applications including, for …

Electrochemical reduction (ER) is a promising approach to safely remove pollutants.
However, sluggish reaction kinetics and significant side reactions considerably limit the …

Optimal mechanical impact absorbers are reusable and exhibit high specific energy
absorption. The forced intrusion of liquid water in hydrophobic nanoporous materials, such …

Confinement of water and methane in mesopores of hydrophobized SBA-15 is
demonstrated to promote methane hydrate formation. In comparison to as-synthesized SBA …

The global ecological crisis of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in
drinking water has gradually shifted from long-chain to short-chain PFASs; however, the …

Abstract Hypothesis: The behavior of Heterogeneous Lyophobic Systems (HLSs) comprised
of a lyophobic porous material and a corresponding non-wetting liquid is affected by a …

Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIF) find application in storage and dissipation of
mechanical energy. Their distinctive properties linked to their (sub) nanometer size and …

In this work, an extended classical nucleation theory (CNT), including line tension, is used to
disentangle classical and non-classical effects in the nucleation of vapor from a liquid …

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 …
