Micro particles come in a wide variety of architectural designs and shapes. It is time to look
beyond the conventional spherical morphology and focus on anisotropic systems. Rod …

The term single file (SF) dynamics refers to the motion of an assembly of particles through a
channel with cross-sections comparable to the particles' diameter. Single file diffusion (SFD) …

In the absence of advection, confined diffusion characterizes transport in many natural and
artificial devices, such as ionic channels, zeolites, and nanopores. While extensive …

Artificial micro/nanomotors are expected to perform tasks in interface-rich and species-rich
environments for biomedical and environmental applications. In these highly confined and …

Energy companies face challenges arising from the ecological, social, and legal
environments. The reduction of negative impacts on the environment and society while …

Precise control of nanoparticles at interfaces can be achieved by designing stimuli-
responsive surfaces that have tunable interactions with nanoparticles. In this study, we …

While thermal rates of state transitions in classical systems have been studied for almost a
century, associated transition-path times have only recently received attention. Uphill and …

We investigate the dynamical properties of a colloidal particle in a double cavity. Without
external driving, the particle hops between two free-energy minima with transition mean time …

The physical approach of a small particle (virus, medical drug) to the cell membrane
represents the crucial first step before active internalization and is governed by thermal …

Narrow escape from confinement through a nanochannel is the critical step of complex
transport processes including size-exclusion-based separations, oil and gas extraction from …
