Biological ion channels have remarkable ion selectivity, permeability and rectification
properties, but it is challenging to develop artificial analogues. Here, we report a metal …

The ever-increasing demand for low-carbon energy underscores the urgency of harvesting
renewable energy sources. Despite notable progress, current energy harvesting techniques …

Bioinspired control of ion transport at the subnanoscale has become a major focus in the
fields of nanofluidics and membrane separation. It is fundamentally important to achieve …

Superwettability is a special case of the wetting phenomenon among liquids, gases, and
solids. The superhydrophobic/superhydrophilic effect discovered initially has undergone a …

Bioinspired smart asymmetric nanochannel membranes (BSANM) have been explored
extensively to achieve the delicate ionic transport functions comparable to those of living …

Human skin is the largest organ, and it can transform multiple external stimuli into the
biopotential signals by virtue of ions as information carriers. Ionic skins (i-skins) that can …

Mimicking cellular transport mechanisms to make solid-state smart nanochannels has long
been of great interest for their diverse applications, but it poses a critical synthetic challenge …
