Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

Membrane distillation has shown great promises in desalinating various water streams.
Significant progresses have been made in the past decades owing to the development of …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

The venerable theory of electrokinetic phenomena rests on the hypothesis of a dilute
solution of point-like ions in quasi-equilibrium with a weakly charged surface, whose …

For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our
understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be …

We present a quantum description of a planar microcavity photon mode strongly coupled to
a semiconductor intersubband transition in presence of a two-dimensional electron gas. We …

The dynamics and structure of water at hydrophobic and hydrophilic diamond surfaces is
examined via non-equilibrium Molecular Dynamics simulations. For hydrophobic surfaces …

Using molecular dynamics simulations of an atomistic water model, we study the interfacial
hydrodynamic slippage of water at various hydrophobic surfaces, both organic (silane …

Usually in electrochemical systems, the direct current densities not exceeding the limiting
current density are applied. However, the recent practice of electrodialysis evidences the …
