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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated as novel solvents, electrolytes, and soft
functional materials. Nevertheless, the widespread applications of ILs in most cases have …

Much more than ever, nucleic acids are recognized as key building blocks in many of lifeʼs
processes, and the science of studying these molecular wonders at the single-molecule …

The size of the sensing region in solid-state nanopores is determined by the size of the pore
and the thickness of the pore membrane, so ultrathin membranes such as graphene and …

Over recent years the Surface Force Apparatus (SFA) has been used to carry out model
experiments revealing structural and dynamic properties of ionic liquids confined to thin …

Nanopores bear great potential as single-molecule tools for bioanalytical sensing and
sequencing, due to their exceptional sensing capabilities, high-throughput, and low cost …

In this Letter, we perform an experimental study of ionic transport and current fluctuations
inside individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The conductance exhibits a power law behavior …

As nanometer-scale portals in biological membranes, protein ionic channels act as
gatekeepers, controlling the traffic of ions and macromolecules into and out of cells …

Label-free nanopore sensors have emerged as a new generation technology of DNA
sequencing and have been widely used for single molecule analysis. Since the first α …

Similar to ionizing radiation with low LET, swift heavy ions (SHI) produce excitation and
ionization as they pass through a polymer. Due to a high local confinement of dissipated …
