Agricultural development, extensive industrialization, and rapid growth of the global
population have inadvertently been accompanied by environmental pollution. Water …

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 …

Nanofluidics has firmly established itself as a new field in fluid mechanics, as novel
properties have been shown to emerge in fluids at the nanometric scale. Thanks to recent …

Fast water transport through carbon nanotube pores has raised the possibility to use them in
the next generation of water treatment technologies. We report that water permeability in 0.8 …

In the field of nanofluidics, it has been an ultimate but seemingly distant goal to controllably
fabricate capillaries with dimensions approaching the size of small ions and water …

Fluid transport at the nanoscale is ubiquitous in nature. However, rigorous study of fluid flow
and structure in artificial nanopores only emerged relatively recently. Termed nanofluidics …

Not all nanopores are created equal. By definition, nanopores have characteristic diameters
or conduit widths between∼ 1 and 100 nm. However, the narrowest of such pores, perhaps …

Measurements and simulations have found that water moves through carbon nanotubes at
exceptionally high rates owing to nearly frictionless interfaces,,,. These observations have …

Salinity-gradient is emerging as one of the promising renewable energy sources but its
energy conversion is severely limited by unsatisfactory performance of available …

For over 100 years, the Nernst–Einstein relation has linked a charged particle's
electrophoretic mobility and diffusion coefficient. Here we report experimental …
