Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is rapidly becoming an attractive method in the field of
structural biology. With the exploding popularity of cryo-EM, sample preparation must evolve …

Understanding and controlling the flow of water confined in nanopores has tremendous
implications in theoretical studies and industrial applications. Here, we propose a simple …

Shale oil is widely distributed in organic nanopores, while kerogen plays a complex and key
role for adsorption behavior of shale oil, and thus it is crucial to identify the associated …

Surface nanobubbles are nanoscopic gaseous domains on immersed substrates which can
survive for days. They were first speculated to exist about 20 years ago, based on stepwise …

In the last decades, shale oil, mainly distributed in the nanopores of shale, has been
considered as the representative of unconventional energy to alleviate the energy crisis. But …

A gas in between micro-or nanostructures on a submerged superhydrophobic (SHPo)
surface allows the liquid on the structures to flow with an effective slip. If large enough, this …

A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions
marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication …

We present a stable numerical scheme for modelling multiphase flow in porous media,
where the characteristic size of the flow domain is of the order of microns to millimetres. The …

Nanofluidics has emerged recently in the footsteps of microfluidics, following the quest for
scale reduction inherent to nanotechnologies. By definition, nanofluidics explores transport …
